Burmese govt gets tough with Suu Kyi

The Burmese military government brought detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi to the capital Yangon today after it also closed the offices of her party, held key supporters and ordered universities shut across Myanmar.

The Nobel Peace Prize laureate was staying at a “safe place” after being brought from the country’s north where she was taken into “protective custody” two days ago, an official said.
