The National League for Democracy is the opposition party that won the May 1990 general elections by a landslide, capturing 82 percent of the vote-and whose rarely seen dissidents have mostly all hidden in the jungle since then, when the Myanmar military suppressed a nationwide uprising for democracy. They've come out of the closet recently with the 1995 release from house arrest of NLD leader Aung San Suu Kyi, but may have to step back into it after walking out on SLORC's late-1995 constitutional convention and the subsequent government suppression of Ms. Suu Kyi's activities and movements.
