Download Burma’s detained opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has been officially barred from voting in the forthcoming general election.

The Nobel Peace Laureate’s name is missing from the electoral rolls posted in the district of the commercial capital, Rangoon, where she has been detained in a lakeside villa for 14 of the past 20 years.

Laws passed governing the election set for November 7 had already effectively barred her from taking part and her party, the National League for Democracy, decided not to contest the election.

Democracy activist Khin Ohmar believes it was the right and only decision to make.

She is the coordinator of Burma Partnership - a Burma-led regional civil society network for democracy, peace and justice in Burma and was our second guest at the 2010 Asia Calling forum.

Download That’s the music of Generation Wave- an underground group dedicated to overthrowing the repressive military junta that has ruled Burma since 1962.

They reach Burma’s youth by using music and graffiti to inspire others to stand up to authority. 

Generation Wave grew out of the 2007 uprising.

Membership of Generation Wave is illegal and is punishable by a jail term of up to five years, but in practice members know they could be imprisoned indefinitely.

About 30 of its 100 members have now been detained so for up to 33 years in jail.

Bobo is one of the members who have gone underground and he joins us on Asia Calling to tell their story.
