Red Cross denied visit to Suu Kyi

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.

“The International Committee of the Red Cross is given access to all persons detained in connection with the event on May 30 with one exception,” said Michel Ducreaux, the regional representative of the ICRC in Burma.
