Myanmar dismisses criticism over Suu Kyi's detention
2006-05-30
Military-ruled Myanmar has shrugged off international criticism of its decision to extend the house arrest of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, calling it a domestic issue. "This is not an international issue. This is a domestic issue," Myanmar Foreign Minister Nyan Win told reporters on Monday on the sidelines of a Non-Aligned Movement meeting in Malaysia.

On Saturday, Myanmar imposed another year of house arrest on Nobel peace laureate Suu Kyi despite international pressure for her release. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan had made a direct appeal to junta supremo Than Shwe to free her.
