YANGON: Myanmar's military junta was hit yesterday with international criticism for holding constitutional talks without Aung San Suu Kyi's pro-democracy opposition, which said it feared a new crackdown.
The National League for Democracy (NLD) said the phone lines to its Yangon headquarters, only recently reopened after a year's closure, were cut on Monday as the convention began, with delegates mostly handpicked by the regime in attendance.
