Burma's pro-democracy party says opponents of the junta's proposed constitution are being beaten and intimidated ahead of next month's vote.
The National League for Democracy says six party members have been attacked by unknown people and 20 others detained and tortured in the runup to the May 10 ballot.
The ruling generals say approval of the charter will usher in multiparty elections in 2010, but pro-democracy activists say it simply entrenches the role of the military, which has ruled since 1962.
The NLD, which has publicly called on people to vote "No" says it has reported the incidents but the authorities have taken no action.
