Myanmar's junta has barred Aung Thein, a prominent activist lawyer from defending opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, as pressure intensifies on the regime to drop new charges against the Nobel Peace laureate. 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.
