David Cameron is to become the first Western leader to visit Aung San Suu Kyi since the Nobel Peace Prize laureate was elected to parliament.

BURMA opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi was charged with breaking the terms of her house arrest and faces up to five years in jail after an American intruder sneaked into her lakeside home, her party said.

The Red Cross has been refused permission to see detained Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, but is being allowed to visit others held in following political violence last month.
