When Evan Williams reported for Dateline on the Burmese elections last year, there were low expectations of the poll delivering a credible government to the people of Burma.

Now, Evan returns to the story to see the reality, uncovering new evidence that votes were rigged in an elaborate system of election fraud.

In an exclusive interview, opposition campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi describes the elections as a ‘laughing stock’ and tells Dateline that the whole process has been ‘unfree and unfair’.

But what’s next for Aung San Suu Kyi and Burmese democracy?

WATCH – See Evan’s report, compiled with the assistance of undercover journalists from the Democratic Voice of Burma.

REPLAY – Evan also reported on Burma last October over concerns about the credibility of November’s elections. Replay his story, Burma’s Betrayal, and read his blog on the difficulties of reporting from countries where journalists are restricted.
