Burma/Myanmar had held a referendum on constitutional reform on 10 May 2008, before the general election under the new constitution was held in 2010. Since the election the Burmese government has launched a series of reforms, such as releasing Aung San Suu Kyi, establishing the National Human Rights Commission, granting a general amnesty to the political prisoners, introducing a new labour law, and relaxing the press censorship. Aung San Suu Kyi’s party, the NLD (National League for Democracy),  also participated in the election and won 43 of 45 seats available.
