The scheduled November 7 general election in Burma, the first in twenty years, is drawing widespread criticism. The ruling military government is restricting foreign media and observers from monitoring the elections. And the United Nations' Special Rapporteur for human rights in Burma, Tomas Ojea Quintana, calls the election process "deeply flawed." As VOA's Kane Farabaugh reports from Ft. Wayne, Indiana - home to the largest Burmese refugee community in the U.S. - many doubt the elections will be free and fair.
