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.
