Bangkok [Thailand], December 29: The son of jailed Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi strongly criticized the parliamentary elections staged by the military junta on Sunday, the first elections since the military coup rocked the South-East Asian country almost five years ago.
"This so-called election," staged by the junta and "backed by other dictators, is nothing more than a scam," Kim Aris said in a video posted on social media. The elections have also been slammed as a "farce" by observers and human rights activists.
