New Delhi (Mizzima) - The Burmese military junta is preparing to put pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, currently facing trial in Rangoon’s Insein court, under house arrest again, this time in a military base on the outskirts of Rangoon, sources close to the military said. The source said, the junta is preparing to put the Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi in a house in Ye Mon town, which is also the base of the Light Infantry Division (11), on the outskirts of Rangoon. Though the trial against the Burmese democracy icon continues to be held in the northern district court in Insein prison, the junta has already decided to put Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest yet again, the source added. < Prev   Next >
