Democracy leader has no ill will toward illegal visitor

Denver Post Wire Report

YANGON, Myanmar — Myanmar's detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi harbors no ill feelings toward an American whose uninvited intrusion into her house might put her behind bars for five years, her attorney said Saturday.

The military regime has accused her of violating the terms of her house arrest for sheltering American John W. Yettaw after he swam to her lakeside residence this month.

"Daw Aung San Suu Kyi said she bore no grudge against Mr. Yettaw or his family," lawyer Nyan Win said after meeting with Suu Kyi to prepare for the defense's final arguments. Daw is a term of respect for Myanmar women.

All but one witness for Suu Kyi disqualified

Denver Post Wire Report

YANGON, Myanmar — The court trying Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi for violating the terms of her house arrest disqualified all but one defense witness Wednesday, making it likely the proceedings will finish this week, one of her lawyers said.

The American whose uninvited visit to Suu Kyi's home triggered the case against her meanwhile testified that he was "sent by God" to make his night-time swim to sneak into her compound earlier this month, according to lawyer Nyan Win.

Suu Kyi may testify today

Denver Post Wire Report

YANGON, Myanmar — Prosecutors in the trial of Myanmar's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi have withdrawn nine remaining witnesses, paving the way for her to testify today and suggesting that the military government wants to wrap up the trial.

Nyan Win, one of Suu Kyi's lawyers in her trial on charges of violating terms of her house arrest, said Monday her defense team was unhappy that it was not given sufficient time to consult with her about her planned testimony.

Aung Thein said the order revoking his licence was issued on May 15, 2009, a day after a prison court charged Suu Kyi with breaking the conditions of her nearly six-year house arrest, which is due to expire on May 27.
