 Burma: Govt Again Foils Suu Kyi's Plan To Meet Followers
 ========================================================

   RANGOON (AP-Dow Jones)--Burma's military government once again
frustrated democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi's attempt to meet 7ith 
members of her party by refusing to allow her to leave her Rangoon 
home on Thursday. 
   Suu Kyi had planned to meet with members of her political party at an
office in the Hlaing district of Rangoon to reorganize its youth wing. 
She has vowed to hold a series of such meetings in party offices around 
the capital. 
*** 
  'Aung San Suu Kyi left her house in her car at 8:30 this morning, but
was stopped a few yards away. She is still waiting in her car,' said a 
party member contacted mid-morning by telephone at Suu Kyi's lakeside 
home. 

   Aung Shwe, chairman of her political party, and vice chairman Tin Oo
were prevented by traffic police from approaching Suu Kyi's compound. 
They meet with the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner daily. 
***
   This is the third consecutive meeting Burma's military government has
halted between Suu Kyi and her party members, and the second time in two 
weeks that they have confined her to her home. 
   Last Wednesday's detention lasted until the afternoon, after the 
planned meeting was prevented and those waiting to confer with Suu Kyi had
dispersed.
 
***
   The military government denies it confines Suu Kyi, and published on 
the internet a list of her daily movements during the past month to 
prove she is free to travel outs9de her home. 
   But the military, which claims it is bringing about democracy in Burma,
bars Suu Kyi from leaving her home whenever she intends to conduct 
peaceful political activities and has jailed more than 1,000 of its 
political opponents.
   Last week, Gen. Khin Nyunt, one Burma's four most powerful generals,
said Suu Kyi and her party were bent on starting riots.
