Burma: Suu Kyi detention legal claims state-controlled newspaper
A state-controlled newspaper said today Burma’s military rulers were breaking no laws by holding pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest for a sixth straight year.
The junta’s recent decision to extend Ms Suu Kyi’s detention by one year sparked international outrage, with the Nobel Peace laureate’s party and foreign defence lawyers arguing the junta could legally only hold her for five years.
