DPNS
The Democratic Party for a New Society (DPNS) was formed in October 1988 in order to continue Burma’s unfinished democratic struggle, which was suppressed by the brutal military regime. The DPNS, with a large support base amongst the youth, including students, has played a vital role in 1990s. With its firm objectives, the DPNS demanded that the military regime, the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC), must allow for the formation of an interim government, the fair and free multi-party elections and fundamental democratic rights. Many young people shared their aspirations with the DPNS and it became the second largest party in Burma, approximately 250,000 members and more than 120 branch offices countrywide.
