Burma hits out at Thailand regarding Suu Kyi trial

The trial of democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi resumed today as Burma lashed out against Thailand – one of its few supporters in an international community likely to halt recent moves to improve relations with the country’s military rulers.

Ms Suu Kyi, due to testify this week, is widely expected to be found guilty for allegedly harbouring an American who swam across a lake to her residence. She faces up to five years in prison.
