Hundreds of demonstrators in Yangon Sunday protested against tweaking the constitution to allow opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi to become the next head of state.
About 500 Buddhist nationalists gathered in the commercial capital Yangon wearing white-shirts bearing the slogan "We support section 59 for the country's future."
Suu Kyi, whose National League for Democracy won a landslide election in November, has been in negotiations with the outgoing military administration to repeal or suspend article 59 (f), which outlaws anyone with foreign family memebers from taking the post. Suu Kyi's late husband was British, and their two sons are British citizens. (Courtesy of dpa news)
