Signature Campaign Off to Strong Start in Rangoon

By SAN YAMIN AUNG / THE IRRAWADDY| Thursday, June 5, 2014 |

RANGOON — More than 380,000 people in Rangoon have already signed a signature campaign to amend Burma’s Constitution, an NLD official says.

The countrywide signature campaign—organized by the opposition party along with the 88 Generation Peace and Open Society, an activist group—is calling for amendments to Article 436, which gives the military an effective veto over constitutional reform. The campaign began last week on Tuesday and will last for two months.
