Asian nations call for release of Suu Kyi
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations has urged Myanmar’s military government to free pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, a rare intrusion into the internal affairs of one of its members.
During an annual meeting, nine foreign ministers of the 10-nation Asean told their Myanmar counterpart that they want Suu Kyi released as soon as possible, Asean secretary-general Ong Keng Yong said.
