YANGON -- Aung San Suu Kyi's opposition party Wednesday cancelled plans to mark for the first time in several years the anniversary of the bloody 1988 student uprising in Myanmar. National League for Democracy (NLD) sources told AFP that arrangements for a low-key commemoration of the protests, in which hundreds of democracy demonstrators were gunned down, had been abandoned. They did not give an explanation for the decision, but the NLD has been careful in recent months not to provoke the military regime while it is holding reconciliation talks with Aung San Suu Kyi.
