State Govt Rejects Hakha Meeting for Charter Change
By ZARNI MANN / THE IRRAWADDY| Monday, June 2, 2014 |

RANGOON — A public meeting organized by the National League for Democracy (NLD) party to push for amending Burma’s Constitution in Hakha, Chin State, was prohibited by the state government on Monday, with locals saying the refusal has had a chilling effect on political activism in the town.

Local police initially granted formal permission for the NLD, along with the 88 Generation Peace and Open Society, to hold a public meeting at Carson Hall in the state capital on Monday morning, but Chin State’s chief minister later reportedly told organizers that they would not be allowed to use the venue.
