88 GSE IS CALLING FOR GLOBAL PROTEST At Yangon's town hall, a lone male protester shouted "Long Live Daw Aung San Suu Kyi" for several minutes in a rare public protest before police bundled him away, witnesses said. Rallies were to be held in more than 25 countries to demand the freedom of the Nobel Peace laureate, who has spent 10 of the past 17 years in some form of detention. In London, Gordin Brown, the British prime minister, said her detention was "utterly unacceptable", while Southeast Asian politicians meeting in Jakarta urged Myanmar's suspension from the 10-nation Asean regional group. But their protests are likely to fall on deaf ears in Yangon, where the military, which has ruled the former Burma since 1962, clamped tight security on the road outside Suu Kyi's home. Armed security men manned barricades and stopped traffic from passing in what appeared to be a move to prevent supporters of "The Lady" from gathering near the lakeside villa where she is under house arrest. Now, by force of mean, the regime announces that the road map plans has to go ahead in May in 2008 as referendum and a new election will hold in 2010,but these are not shown for holding date.
