Suu Kyi completes six months in detention

Burma’s pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi and three of her top supporters completed six months in detention today with no sign of when they might be freed, despite international calls for their release.

Suu Kyi was detained at an undisclosed location after a bloody clash between her supporters and a government-backed mob on May 30 when she was touring northern Burma – renamed Myanmar by its military regime.
