Myanmar's government is considering allowing international observers to monitor an upcoming by-election which opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi will contend, the United Nations special Rapporteur on the country's human rights said Sunday according to dpa. "I met chairman of Union Election Commission and he told me that international observers are being considered for April 1by-election," Tomas Ojea Quintana said, at the conclusion of a six-day official visit to Myanmar. "The coming by-election is a key test how far the government has progressed in the process of reform," Quintana said. Suu Kyi, leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD) party, has entered the by-election race, contesting a seat in Yangon, while other party members will contest another 47 seats up for grabs.
