Tragedy in Rangoon: A North Korean Assassination Attempt
On October 9, 1983, while South Korean President Chun Doo-Hwan was visiting the Martyr’s Mausoleum in Rangoon, Myanmar when a bomb concealed in the roof exploded, killing 21 people including four senior South Korean officials. President Chun was spared because his car had been delayed in traffic and he was not at the site at the time of the detonation.
Chun had seized power through a coup in 1979, and won a rigged election in 1980 to become the President of South Korea. His administration was characterized by his harshness towards human rights but strong economic growth. As a result of the Rangoon bombing, Myanmar suspended diplomatic relations with North Korea and Chinese officials refused to meet or talk with North Korean officials for several months.
Thomas (Harry) Dunlop served as Political Counselor under Ambassador Richard L. “Dixie” Walker in Seoul from 1983-1987 and recounted his experiences in an interview with Charles Stuart Kennedy in July 1996.

BURMA: AUNG SAN SUU KYI VISITS MARTYR'S MAUSOLEUM
Natural Sound
Burma's dissident leader Aung San Suu Kyi has made her first major public appearance since her release from six years of house arrest.
She laid flowers at the Martyr's Mausoleum in honour of her father who led Burma's independence struggle against Britain.
Aung San, a national hero, was assassinated 48 years ago today.
In a car provided by the government, Aung San Suu Kyi arrived at the Mausoleum with flowers to lay on her father's tomb.
Security was tight. Access to the area was restricted. Armed police and soldiers made their presence felt.
The visit has attracted widespread attention. Mrs Suu Kyi is an immensely popular rival of the military government. There were concerns there could be trouble. But the ceremony passed off peacefully.
Fifty government officials attended, some laid wreaths.
Mrs Suu Kyi's father, Aung San, is a national hero in Burma. He lead the independence struggle against Britain. He was assassinated 48 years ago today.
Mrs Suu Kyi was arrested the day after Martyr's Day in 1989,when crowds of demonstrators attempted to enter the memorial ceremony without official permission.
Last week (July 10), after 6 years of detention, she was freed.
Today she allowed the press into her home and showed off family photos. One a particularly poignant shot of Mrs Suu Kyi with her father.
Since her release Mrs Suu Kyi has taken a non-confrontational stand towards the authorities. She has urged them to join her in talks on restoring national unity.

Burma - Security around home of Aung Sang Suu Kyi

Security remained tight around the home of Burmese opposition leader Aung Sang Suu Kyi on Saturday (26/10). The country's military rulers are apparently determined to prevent supporters of Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) from reaching her home to hear her speak. In recent months she has addressed gatherings at her house almost every weekend.

67 anniversary of Martyr's Day was held today in all places of Myanmar. Everyone believes that this year is unusual to the other years. During the past 20 years, people of Myanmar saw some transparency in that vice president of Myanmar and members of parliament came and bowed the Martyrs though Myanmar president, U Thein Sein did not participate.
Myanmar leader Suu Kyi commemorates Martyrs' Day
(19 Jul 2017) Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi laid a wreath on Wednesday at the tomb of her father and the country's independence leader, Aung San, to commemorate Martyrs' Day in the country.
Also attending the ceremony were Vice-President Myint Swe and Commander in Chief, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, along with speakers from both houses of parliament.
Over at the Secretariat building in central Yangon, many lined up to catch a glimpse of General Aung San's former office where he was assassinated.
To mark the 70th anniversary of his death, the room was restored to how it looked, including the display of old furniture, and was made available for public viewing.
General Aung San led the independence movement in Burma.
He was assassinated on 19 July 1947, months before the country gained independence from British rule.
