http://www.euronews.net/ Myanmar's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has indicated that her party will contest a series of parliamentary by-elections.

However, the head of the National League for Democracy (NLD) has not revealed whether she herself will compete for one of the 48 seats available.

The 106-member Central Executive Committee of the NLD voted unanimously to register the party, which was officially dissolved last year, and contest the by-elections, it said in a statement.

Portugal - Extradition of convicted murderer American-born George Wright turned down

Published on Nov 17, 2011 by
http://www.euronews.net/ A court in Portugal has freed a convicted murderer after rejecting a request by the US to extradite him.

American-born George Wright was arrested in Lisbon after 41 years on the run since escaping from jail in the US in 1970.

He subsequently married a Portugese woman and acquired Portugese citizenship, preventing his extradition.

http://www.euronews.net/ Three days before the general election in Spain, students are once again protesting against cuts in education.

For months, Spanish people have been out on the streets demonstrating against cuts, the privatisation of public services and the lack of available jobs.

The most likely future prime minister Mariano Rajoy is pledging to protect pensions, though he will have to make a raft of cuts elsewhere to bring the budget deficit down to 4.4 per cent of GDP next year and uphold Spain's commitments to the eurozone.

Published on Nov 17, 2011 by
http://www.euronews.net/ Cities across the United States staged protests on Thursday in a day of action to mark two months of grass-roots demonstrations against economic inequality.
