Meanwhile, Burmanet reported that the special reinforced securities have been applied near her house to control her birthday celebration.

Three NLD’s members who attended the celebration were arrested by authorities, he added.

Sources in Rangoon said that authorities began reinforcing security near Suu Kyi’s Inya lakeside residence and extended barbed wire
barricades o­n her street since Monday night.

Other NLD members in Shwebo in Mandalay Division also were threatened by a military-backed mob that threw stones at the Mandalay
NLD office and placed sharp rivets that can puncture a motorbike’s tire o­n a road near the building, according to Tint Tint, an NLD
member.

For “The Lady” with prayers and wishes, hope you have a peaceful birthday.
