Myanmar’s parliament has elected Htin Kyaw as the country’s first non-military president since the army took power in a 1962 coup. A close adviser and loyal friend to Aung San Suu Kyi, the 69-year-old was nominated by the National League for Democracy party last week and voted into the presidency by parliament on Tuesday. Suu Kyi, who is barred from the presidency under an army-drafted constitution, has made clear she will be “above the president” and Htin Kyaw is expected to act as a proxy. Reporters in the capital, Naypyidaw, were not allowed to enter the parliament chamber when the voting took place. A final tally giving Htin Kyaw 360 out of 652 votes was met with applause. The two runners up, military nominee Myint Swe and ethnic minority Chin candidate Henry Van Thio, will become first and second vice-presidents respectively. Aung San Suu Kyi, herself a member of parliament, cast her vote and later smiled broadly and clapped when the results were announced. Read more

PREDSTAVNICA oporbe Mianmara Aung San Suu Kyi proslavila je u subotu sama u kućnom pritvoru 59. rođendan dok se više stotina članova njezine stranke zajedno molilo u Rangunu za njezino skoro oslobođenje. Više od 400 simpatizera iz cijelog Mianmara okupilo se pred prostorijama stranke Aung San Suu Kyi, Nacionalne lige za demokraciju (LND, gdje su budistički redovnici molili za oslobađanje dobitnice Nobelove nagrade za mir. Aktivistica za ljudska prava i čelnica oporbe u Minamaru, Aung San Suu Kyi uhićena je nakon napada na njezin konvoj 30. lipnja 2003. na sjeveru Mianmara, nakon čega su je vladine sigurnosne snage prebacile u tajno skrovište, a zatim joj je određen kućni pritvor, treći puta od početka njezine borbe za demokraciju 1988. godine. Glasnogovornik glavne oporbene stranke je rekao da se neće predati prije no što postignu oslobođenje Aung San Suu Kyi kao i svih političkih zatvorenika. Organizacije za obranu ljudskih prava ocijenjuju da se oko 1.300 političkih zatvorenika nalazi u zatvorima vojnog režima, koji je na vlasti u Mianmaru dulje od 40 godina. (Hina) xtm ysd
