Myanmar's detained Suu Kyi 'not in good health'

Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi is "not in good health" as she cannot eat, while her doctor is being detained by police, her party spokesman told AFP Saturday.

The 63-year-old Nobel Laureate, whose detention comes up for renewal in late May, has low blood pressure, is dehydrated and has been placed on an intravenous drip by her doctor's assistant, Nyan Win said.

"The lady's not in good health. She cannot eat and she has low blood pressure," Nyan Win said. He added that she "has dehydration".

"We are worried very much for the lady's health situation," the National League for Democracy (NLD) spokesman said.

In her doctor's absence, medical assistant Pyone Moe Ei had spent three hours on Friday afternoon at Aung San Suu Kyi's lakeside prison home and has requested permission to return Saturday to renew the intravenous drip, he said.

Nyan Win said he did not know why the doctor had been held by police since Thursday.

Official sources said Thursday the physician, Tin Myo Win, had been denied permission to enter the house after waiting several hours to carry out a regular medical check-up on the pro-democracy leader.

A day earlier Myanmar authorities arrested a US national after he swam across a lake to the off-limits compound where Aung San Suu Kyi has been isolated under house arrest for most of the past 19 years.

State media said the man, identified as John William Yeattaw, spent two days at the house before security forces plucked him from the water as he left at dawn.

Official sources on Saturday said the 53-year-old man had slept for two days on the ground floor of Aung San Suu Kyi's house, where her two maids live, and asked the detained leader not to inform authorities he was there.

The man's motive remained unclear but official sources have said he is a Vietnam war veteran, while Aung San Suu Kyi's lawyer Kyi Win told AFP Yeattaw was an "adventurous" American acting of his own accord.

Aung San Suu Kyi lives with her two maids and is allowed only occasional visits from her doctor and lawyer.

On Saturday a roadblock stopping cars driving near her home was removed while heavy security that was put in place following the breach was relaxed.

The opposition leader's latest period of incarceration expires at the end of May and authorities have not said if they intend to extend her sentence, though Western diplomats say she is not likely to be released.

Her lawyer Kyi Win said Friday he was still waiting for permission to meet Aung San Suu Kyi for the first time since the NLD said on Tuesday an appeal against her detention had been rejected.

The appeal was lodged last year after Aung San Suu Kyi was given an intravenous drip by her doctor after refusing food deliveries for a month.

"We have not much time left for (a further) appeal as her detention will expire soon. I cannot do anything without Daw Suu's instruction. I have to inform her about the letter and ask her desire," he said.

The ruling junta are holding elections next year that critics dismiss as a sham to entrench the military's power.

Aung San Suu Kyi is barred from standing in the polls and her NLD have announced stiff conditions on their participation including "unconditionally" releasing political prisoners from jail.

(AFP) – The United States said Thursday that pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi should be released immediately after Myanmar's military junta brought new charges against her.

"I am ready to say something more than just that ... we're troubled," State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters when asked if he would go further than a statement he released earlier in the day.

"Our bottom line is that she shouldn't be under house arrest. She shouldn't be, and even less so in prison," Kelly said during the daily media briefing. "Our bottom line is ... she should be released immediately."

Myanmar's military junta charged Aung San Suu Kyi Thursday with breaching the terms of her house arrest over a bizarre incident in which a US man swam to her lakeside house.

The 63-year-old goes on trial on Monday on the charges, which carry a jail term of up to five years and would stretch her detention past its supposed expiry date this month and through controversial elections due in 2010.

Aung San Suu Kyi would not be allowed to return home but would be held at a special house on the grounds of Insein Prison while proceedings were under way, her lawyer Kyi Win added.

Kelly said that the US embassy in Yangon had been in contact with the authorities to verify the charges against her.

He recalled that both publicly and privately, through diplomatic channels, the US government has long been calling for her release and that of more than 2,100 political prisoners.

In a statement released earlier, Kelly said: "We have seen this report (about the new charges), which is certainly troubling if true."

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "has seen it as well, and has asked the Department to work to get more information," added Kelly.

During the briefing, Kelly said Clinton would comment on the case she holds talks here with foreign minister Datuk Anifah bin Haji Aman of Malaysia, which like Myanmar is a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Howard Berman, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, echoed the call for the release of the pro-democracy leader.

"The military junta should immediately release her, allow greater political freedoms in the country, and respect the human rights of all of Burma?s citizens," he said in a statement.

John Yettaw, who was held last week for sneaking into Suu Kyi's house and staying there for two days before he was caught, was also charged with breaking the security law and immigration conditions, officials said.

Yettaw, 53, apparently used a pair of homemade flippers to swim across a lake to her crumbling residence in an apparent show of solidarity, but Aung San Suu Kyi's main lawyer Kyi Win said they had asked him to leave.

"We have to blame him," Kyi Win said. "He is a fool."

Kelly said that the authorities allowed a US embassy consular officer access to the courtroom for Yettaw's hearing earlier Thursday.

Lets hope UN & US pressure can lead to her Freedom, when ASEAN is ineffective.

Is Yettaw a fool? or someone paid by the junta to swim over. After all, the moat is easier to swim than the straits of malacca.

You are a sad man. The lady has spent the last 16 years in captivity. The door is open to her to leave Myanmar anytime but she chose to stay because she felt a greater cause than herself, her people and her supporters.

Whether she is naive, whether her cause is futile, whether she is doomed, whether she is a tool of the west, whether she is hogging the media, she has suffered and she is dying.

An idiot like you only know to talk rubbish from the comfort of your pigeon hole. You are such a sad loser.

Will ASEAN's GRAVE CONCERN Help?

BANGKOK, May 19 - Myanmar's Southeast Asian neighbours expressed "grave concern" on Tuesday at the trial of democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, but the chair of their regional group, Thailand, ruled out sanctions.

As a "responsible" member of the 10-member Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), Myanmar "has the responsibility to protect and promote human rights", Thailand's government said in a statement.

"It is therefore called upon to provide timely and adequate medical care to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, as well as to accord her humane treatment with dignity," it said, noting the generals had ignored ASEAN's previous calls to free her.

Suu Kyi, whose latest detention began in May 2003, is charged with violating the terms of her house arrest after an American intruder spent two days in her home this month. The trial started on Monday and was due to resume today.

Critics say the charges, which could see her jailed for five years, are aimed at keeping the Nobel Peace laureate in detention until after elections in 2010. She has denied the charges.

Since joining ASEAN in 1997, the generals have been a thorn in the group's relations with the West, which has repeatedly urged ASEAN to exert more pressure on the regime.

Critics fear a proposed human rights body under a new ASEAN charter signed in 2007 will have no teeth, given the charter's commitment to the group's mantra of non-interference.

Thailand, which holds the rotating chair of ASEAN, said the group was ready to "contribute constructively" to national reconciliation and a peaceful transition to democracy in Myanmar.

But it also warned that with the eyes of the world on Myanmar, "the honour and credibility of the Government of the Union of Myanmar are at stake".

The military has ignored the international outrage over Suu Kyi's trial as it pushes ahead with a "roadmap to democracy" expected to culminate in elections next year. The West calls it a sham aimed at entrenching the military's grip on the country.

NO SANCTIONS, SAYS THAILAND

The European Union threatened tougher sanctions against the regime on Monday, four days after the United States renewed its measures against the military government.

But some EU ministers said Asian countries could exert a stronger influence on Myanmar. They planned to discuss the situation with their Asian counterparts at a meeting of foreign ministers in Hanoi next week.

The Europeans are unlikely to secure tough measures from ASEAN, which has shunned sanctions in favour of engaging the generals, although neither policy has worked over the years.

China and India - which have strong commercial ties to the impoverished but resource-rich former Burma - have been silent on Suu Kyi's trial.

Thailand, which shares a 1,800 km border with Myanmar and is a major trading partner, has made clear sanctions are not an option.

"Thailand will not use strong measures or economic sanctions against Myanmar because it is not an appropriate resolution for the current problem," Foreign Ministry official Chavanond Intarakomalyasut told reporters yesterday.

Aside from Thailand and Myanmar, ASEAN's membership includes Singapore, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines. - Reuters

it is a mess up country, like north korea, why all the mess up country next to china?

is china the problem?

 

[CPTMiller]

Myanmar natural resources attracted many countries eg Singapore.
In the 90's, Singapore already try to befriend Myanmar military generals hoping to gain some trade in the country.
Even now the generals do travel to Singapore often for personal reasons.

Every country have their own set of problems.
It is up to the locals standup and to deal with it.

it is a mess up country, like north korea, why all the mess up country next to china?

Extra detention ensures Suu Kyi will miss elections
Larry Jagan, Foreign Correspondent

Myanmar’s pro-democracy opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi was yesterday given an additional 18 months detention by a court in Yangon’s notorious Insein prison.

Suu Kyi, a Nobel peace laureate, was convicted of violating state security laws while she was under house arrest for giving a US citizen food and shelter after he swam across the lake to her home.

The sentence, while lighter than expected, ensures Suu Kyi will be unable to contest elections next year. The American John Yettaw was jailed for seven years, four with hard labour.

“A shamefully predictable verdict, and a sentence shamelessly designed to constitute a ‘concession’ to international pressure and concern,” Amnesty International’s Bangkok-based Myanmar researcher, Benjamin Zawacki, said in an interview.

Already there has been an international outcry, with the British prime minister Gordon Brown calling the verdict a sham. It is “a purely political sentence” designed to prevent Suu Kyi from taking part in next year’s planned elections, he said.

Many Asian leaders are also joining in the campaign to protest against the pro-democracy leader’s continued house arrest. “Aung San Suu Kyi’s continued detention shames all of Asia,” said the former South Korean president and fellow Nobel peace laureate, Kim Dae Jung, adding that it should not be tolerated by the international community.

“Burma’s authoritarian rulers have suppressed the people for too long,” said Mr Kim

The former Malaysian prime minister Anwar Ibrahim said in an interview: “The charges are contrived and have been made simply to deny Aung San Suu Kyi the freedom that she is entitled to and that has been denied to her for so many years.”

Aung San Suu Kyi was sentenced to three years in jail with hard labour, but immediately after the verdict was read out, Myanmar’s home minister, Major Gen Muang Oo, stood up and announced that the junta had decided to reduce her sentence and allow her to serve an 18-month sentence in her home.

Major Gen Oo said the government had taken into account the fact that Suu Kyi was the daughter of Myanmar’s independence hero Aung San, as well as “the need to preserve community peace and tranquillity and prevent any disturbances in the road map to democracy”, a reference to the generals’ plans for the introduction of guided democracy, including elections next year.

Suu Kyi has already spent more than 14 of the past 20 years in detention. She denied the charge of aiding Yettaw, but through her lawyers said she had expected to be convicted.

She is expected to challenge the verdict in the country’s high court and has instructed her defence to exhaust all legal avenues in challenging the regime, according to her American lawyer, Jared Genser. In the meantime it is unclear whether she will have to remain in Insein prison or be allowed to return to her home.

While the guilty verdict was expected, the sentence was surprising. Analysts say the objective of Than Shwe, Myanmar’s leader, was to marginalise Suu Kyi and prevent her from campaigning in next year’s elections.

“They [the military rulers] are frightened of her because they know that if she was allowed to run in the elections, the whole country would vote for her,” said Soe Aung, a spokesman for the exiled Myanmarese opposition based in Thailand. “By sentencing her to 18 months, they are effectively keeping her out of sight until after the election is held sometime towards the end of next year.”

But more crucially, according Derek Tonkin, a former British ambassador to both Thailand and Vietnam, this conviction automatically ends any possibility of her having a political role under the new constitution.

“She is ineligible to stand as a candidate under Article 121 (a) of the new constitution, which disqualifies ‘a person serving a prison term, having been convicted by the court concerned for having committed an offence’ from standing for election,” he said.

Previously she had been ruled out from being president because of her marriage to a foreigner, the British academic Michael Aris, who died more than 10 years ago.

Most believe that the electoral law, which will outline the political procedures for the elections, is likely to be revealed in the coming months. “It’s almost certain to make it mandatory for all political parties to field candidates in next year’s elections,” said Mr Tonkin. “If the NLD [National League for Democracy] does not comply they will certainly be deregistered.”

The apparent leniency of the sentence could be an attempt to placate Burma’s neighbours, especially China, analysts said.

“It is indeed a concession, for the generals would have certainly preferred – but for international pressure – five years behind prison bars, rather than 18 months behind house walls,” said Amnesty’s Mr Zawacki.

“But it should not be accepted as such by the UN and Asean [Association of South East Asian Nations] – both of which called for Daw Suu Kyi’s release over the past several months, but share a costly history of mistaking lateral or even backward movements in Myanmar as progress.”

The Asean secretary general, Surin Pitsuwan, recently warned Myanmar that the trial had to be transparent for the regional grouping to accept the result.

“Some Asean allies will certainly endorse the verdict,” said Mr Tonkin. “But others will be reluctant to, though they may keep their reservations private.”

The international community is increasingly divided on how to bring about change in Myanmar. The EU, supported by both France and the United Kingdom, has already condemned the court decision and threatened tougher sanctions. The French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, said tougher sanctions “should particularly target the resources it profits directly from – wood and ruby mining”.

Looks like external pressure fail to save her this time but They can't lock and shut her up forever.
