Suu Kyi not above the law, says Burma
Burma's military junta defended its prosecution of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi today, saying she was not above the law, and warned other countries not to meddle in its internal affairs.
The comments marked the first time a top official from the reclusive regime had publicly defended its actions, which have drawn widespread international condemnation, including from its closest neighbours in south-east Asia.
