| Myanmar police detain Suu Kyi supporters |
| 2008-05-27 |
| Police in Myanmar have detained more than a dozen members of Aung San Suu Kyi's opposition party. The members of Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy were marching Tuesday from the party's headquarters to her home when riot police shoved the group into a truck. It was not immediately clear where the truck was headed or exactly how many people were detained. Suu Kyi has been detained for more than 12 of the past 18 years, mostly under house arrest. Security was stepped up around Suu Kyi's home as the military junta faced a deadline to decide whether extend her current period of house arrest or release her. |
