Myanmar on Sunday will hold the country's first elections in two decades. Ahead of tomorrow's poll, opposition parties accused the regime-backed political group of cheating and threatening voters in the process, which is already widely criticised as a sham that will cloak ongoing military rule. Fears were also deepening that the ruling military was intentionally blocking access to information, with the Internet down across Yangon yesterday. The country's ruling military junta has refused to allow international monitors to oversee the elections, and recently overhauled Myanmar's constitution in a way that critics say is aimed at tightening the regime's grip. The constitution now requires more than 100 military nominees in parliament. Democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been detained for much of the past twenty years, remains under house arrest and sidelined from the poll while her now-disbanded National League for Democracy is boycotting the process.
