Veteran anti-Junta activist tells Opposition not to forget its role

YANGON: Jailed for nearly two decades for his struggle against the junta, veteran dissident Win Tin says Myanmar’s pro-democracy movement must not forget its role as the Opposition, despite the country’s dramatic political changes.

Since he was released from prison in 2008, the National League for Democracy (NLD) party which he co-founded 25 years ago with Aung San Suu Kyi has been transformed into a legitimate political force in the fledgling parliament.
