Suu Kyi recovering in hospital after operation: report
Burma's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been successfully operated on for gynaecological problems at a private hospital in the capital Yangon, Japan's Kyodo news agency has reported. Ms Suu Kyi was reportedly underwent a successful operation on her uterus at the private Asia Royal Hospital on Thursday morning.
| Not sure we needed quite that much detail... |
"This is not true," Reuters quoted hospital administration officer Myat Thu told as saying.
| Oh. Okay. Then she didn't... |
But a Yangon doctor told Reuters Ms Suu Kyi had entered the hospital. "It is quite true. I have friends who work at the hospital and they say she was there," the unnamed doctor said adding the ninth floor of the hospital had been sealed off on Wednesday and plainclothes security men were in the building.
| Uhhh... I guess she did, then... |
"There were arrangements for an operation on a VIP patient, but only authorised people could gain access," a second doctor told Reuters.
| So how'd you know it was her? How'd you know what part of her got cut? |
Burma's military rulers have kept Ms Suu Kyi, 58, at an undisclosed location since May 30, after a bloody clash between her convoy and government supporters in north of the country. The junta says she is being held in protective custody and has ignored an international calls for her release.
| "We ain't giving her up. Keep harping on it, and we'll operate on her again!" |
