Burma’s junta dismisses US claim that Suu Kyi is on hunger strike
The US State Department had said it was “deeply concerned” for the health of Suu Kyi, claiming she has launched a hunger strike in detention. It did not say where it obtained that information.
The Burmese government “as well as governments around the world are confused and we firmly believe it is quite odd for the United States State Department to make such a claim without stating any sources to verify its allegation,” a junta statement said.
