Days before Myanmar goes to the polls, candidate and famous dissident Aung San Suu Kyi denounced "irregularities" in the upcoming parliamentary elections, saying they would be neither free nor fair.

Opposition candidates have been attacked with stones, she told reporters at a news conference.

Last month, her National League for Democracy party complained at a news conference that its candidates had been denied permission to campaign in the area of Namtee, purportedly for security reasons. The party argued that if so, the government shouldn't be holding elections in "insecure areas."

On Friday, Suu Kyi blamed Burmese officials for some of the intimidation and violence but said she would press forward with her campaign nonetheless, the Associated Press reported.

The charismatic Suu Kyi is widely expected to win a seat in the parliament, giving the former political prisoner a voice in government for the first time.
