Aung San Suu Kyi worried about poll irregularities


Myanmar's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has expressed doubt that the country's by-elections on Sunday will be free and fair, citing systematic intimidation against her party.

Aung San Suu Kyi met about 300 reporters at her home on Friday, ahead of the elections for parliament and local assemblies.

Her National League for Democracy is fielding candidates for most of the 45 seats up for grabs. Aung San Suu Kyi is running for a seat in the country's largest city, Yangon.

She cited as examples of intimidation against her party throwing of stones that injured its campaign workers and slashing of posters.

Aung San Suu Kyi said the party has filed a complaint with the election's commission, and that officials are likely behind the harassment.
