The broken Myanmar Embassy nameplate daubed with red paint and a poster of Myanmar junta leader General Than Shwe is seen at the Myanmar Embassy after a protest in New Delhi on March 19, 2010, held by pro-democracy activists to denounce Myanmar's recently announced election law. Myanmar's detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi called on her people to respond to an 'unjust' election law issued by the junta that bars her from the vote, her lawyer said. Under the laws, which have sparked international anger, Suu Kyi faces exclusion from her own National League for Democracy (NLD) and is prevented from standing in the elections expected in October or November 2010.
