Police stop Suu Kyi


By Amit Baruah

SINGAPORE, AUG. 25. The Myanmarese Pro-democracy leader, Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, was stopped by the police on Thursday as she tried to travel out of Yangon for the first time in two years.

She was trying to drive to Kungyangon, some 50 km south of the capital to organise the youth wing of her National League for Democracy.

In 1998, Ms. Suu Kyi, was stopped twice for trying to leave Yangon. She remained in her car for five days in protest on the first occasion and for 13 days the second time round.
