缅甸最主要的反对党说，政府部分放宽了对组织政治活动的限制。在此之前，该党曾经抗议即将到来的补选的公平性面临危险。全国民主联盟的发言人在接受美国之音缅甸语组采访时说，星期一，在该党召开记者会表达对相关问题的关注后，相关的限制被解除。
全国民主联盟的候选人，包括该党领导人昂山素季在内，将参加4月1日举行的议会48个席位的补选。这将是1990年以来该党的选举能力首次接受检验。当年，全国民主联盟赢得了压倒性的胜利，但是军政府阻止该联盟掌权。
Burma's most prominent opposition party says the government has eased some restrictions on political organizing after the party complained that the fairness of coming by-elections was at risk. A spokesman for the National League for Democracy told VOA's Burmese service that the restrictions were lifted Monday, within hours after the party held a news conference to voice its concerns.
NLD candidates, including party leader Aung Sang Suu Kyi, are running in April 1 elections to fill 48 vacant seats in parliament. It will be the first test of the party's electoral power since 1990, when it won a landslide victory but was prevented from taking power by a military government.
