[JURIST] Officials of Myanmar opposition group the National League for Democracy (NLD) said Sunday that the government has sentenced five of its members to prison for participating in a march commemorating the mass student protests against the junta held on August 8, 1988. The 2008 protest, held in the Rakhine province, included 48 people, and police arrested the five NLD members on charges of creating public alarm and unlawful assembly. Government officials sentenced each on Friday to two and one-half years in prison. Rakhine NLD official Thein Naing told the media that the sentencing occurred without giving the party members the chance to consult a lawyer. Other party officials have expressed hope that a UN envoy's visit to Myanmar scheduled to begin Monday will help ease tensions between the NLD and the government. AFP has more. AP has additional coverage. In July, 14 members of the NLD were charged with causing political unrest by staging a protest outside NLD headquarters where they shouted slogans calling for the release of NLD party leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The demonstration took place on June 19, Suu Kyi's 63rd birthday. Suu Kyi has spent 12 of the past 18 years in prison or under House arrest for alleged violations of an anti-subversion law. The military junta extended Suu Kyi's House arrest into a sixth year in May, sparking an international outcry and demonstrations by the NLD. ...

Myanmar's main opposition party said Sunday that it hopes a visiting U.N. special envoy can help restart talks between detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi and the ruling junta. U.N. special envoy Ibrahim Gambari, who is promoting national reconciliation and democratic reform in Myanmar, will spend five days in the country starting Monday. "We hope that Mr. Gambari would be able to revive the stalled dialogue," said Nyan Win, spokesman for Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy. He said the U.N.-brokered talks between the junta's specially appointed minister Aung Kyi and Suu Kyi, who is under House arrest, began in October 2007 but stopped at the end of January after five meetings. This will be Gambari's fourth visit to the country since the military junta violently suppressed anti-government protests last September, sparking global outcry. ...

Myanmar's detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi failed to retrieve food delivered to her home amid speculation she may have launched a hunger strike. Nyan Win, spokesman for the National League for Democracy, said Tuesday he could not confirm whether Suu Kyi was refusing to eat, but said bags of food delivered Monday to a checkpoint outside her heavily guarded House were not picked up. Suu Kyi has been under House arrest for 13 of the past 19 years, and she relies on the NLD's food deliveries for survival. It remains unclear whether Suu Kyi has launched a hunger strike since her supporters are barred from meeting her. Burmese dissident groups based in neighboring Thailand said Monday she began a hunger strike on Aug. 15 and hasn't accepted food since. "If Daw Aung San Suu Kyi continues to refuse food from her comrades, her health will be of serious concern," one group, the National League for Democracy (Liberated Area), said in a statement. ...

Once again, the news from Burma rings with echoes of despair. The latest mission from the international community has ended in embarrassment -- not for the despotic generals who rule Burma (renamed Myanmar by its illegitimate regime) but for the United Nations and its ineffectual efforts. And once again, Burma stands like a conscience-searing mirage on the Asian horizon, reminding us of our failure to help the most desperate. The Nigerian diplomat chosen by the United Nations to conduct negotiations, Ibrahim Gambari, has left Burma without having met Gen. Than Shwe, the head of the ruling junta, or Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, the woman who led the country's National League for Democracy to victorious elections 18 years ago and has spent most of the time since then under House arrest. Opposition leaders in exile and inside the country are fed up with Gambari, who served as his country's U.N. ambassador during Nigeria's military dictatorship. Burmese activists say his work has proved "worthless," a "failure." The United Nations defends him, calling for patience, saying that he is engaged in a "process." ...

Detained Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has met with her lawyer for the first time in five years, one of her colleagues said Sunday. Nyan Win, a spokesman for Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party, said she consulted her lawyer about the detention law under which she has been confined without trial for more than 12 of the past 19 years. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate has been detained continuously since May 2003, most of the time under House arrest. Nyan Win quoted the lawyer as saying that Suu Kyi appeared to be in very good health when they met Friday. She was last seen by her doctor in May. ...
