Burma's junta dismisses Suu Kyi hunger strike report

Burma’s military government dismissed as “quite odd” today a US government claim that opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi was on hunger strike in protest at her continued detention.

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.
