Myanmar may free
Myanmar is expected to free the jailed pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi within the next two weeks, a senior Thai army general said. Lieutenant-General Picharnmet Muangmanee, commanding troops near the Thai-Myanmar border, was quoted by the Bangkok Post as saying that their Myanmar counterparts told them the Yangon military junta was ready to free Suu Kyi. Myanmarâs military, which has ruled since a 1962 coup, has so far ignored Western sanctions and an unprecedented public rebuke from its southeast Asian neighbours for holding Suu Kyi.
