Myanmar’s military government has warned against filing complaints over the 7th November  election a move that could spell trouble for pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi who has vowed to probe alleged voting irregularities.

The warning Tuesday put Suu Kyi on a possible collision course with the ruling generals, just days after her release from more than seven years of house arrest.

The 65-year-old Nobel Peace laureate must balance the expectations of the country’s pro-democracy movement with the reality that her freedom could be withdrawn any time by the hard-line regime.

Suu Kyi, meanwhile, went on a legal offensive Tuesday, filing an affadavit with the country’s High Court to have her political party reinstated.

The junta disbanded it earlier this year for failing to reregister after choosing not to take part in the election, complaining conditions set by the junta were unfair and undemocratic.

In a reminder of how delicately she has to tread, the official Union Election Commission warned today that political parties making fraudulent complaints about the polls can face harsh legal punishment.

Full results from this month’s elections have yet to be released, but figures so far give the military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party a solid majority in both houses of parliament.

Critics complain the vote was rigged and designed to cement the power of the military, which has ruled Myanmar for five decades.

Anyone who files fraudulent charges of vote cheating can be jailed for three years, fined 300,000 kyats (USD 300), or both, the commission said.

Suu Kyi has already announced her intention to join party colleagues in an investigation of alleged electoral fraud. She told reporters, however, that while her party plans to issue a report, it has no plans to protest the results of the election as it didn’t take part.

The election was the first in Myanmar since a 1990 vote won by Suu Kyi’s party. Her National League for Democracy was barred from taking power and has faced near-constant repression.

A day after her release, Suu Kyi told thousands of wildly cheering supporters at her party headquarters Sunday she would continue to fight for human rights and the rule of law. In press interviews, she has spoken more of reconciliation than justice.
