Opposition group launches website

Aung San Suu Kyi's party, the NLD, have now launched a website. Having recently been released from house arrest Suu Kyi is evidently keen to get back into politics, and having her party launch a website is obviously the first step towards this. The NLD boycotted last november's elections, calling them unfair and corrupt. Now that the junta are officially in power, they have launched a website, meant for supporters both in burma and internationally, however it is unknown yet whether the government will block the website in Burma or not. The website allows supporters to learn about the party's beliefs, media appearences, and it shows any breaking news concerning the party. I believe that this website is a great step forward in helping the rest of the world become more involved in what is happening in Burma right now.
