NLD plans to lift rule on overnight visitors in Myanmar

Myanmar's National League for Democracy is set to propose changes to a law that requires citizens to report overnight guests to their local ward administration office – a practice that activists say infringes on human rights, and the party argues is a “disgrace” to the country.

However, the draft amendment, which was handed out to parliament members on Monday, could bring the NLD into conflict with the military, which controls the security and administrative apparatus that implements the reporting requirements, the Myanmar Times reported on Tuesday.
