Opposition politicians stage sit-in 

 
More than 50 opposition politicians staged a sit-in demonstration yesterday
to protest against the junta's restrictions on entering Aung San Suu Kyi's
compound, opposition sources in Rangoon said.

The peaceful protest, staged at one of the checkpoints near Ms Aung San Suu
Kyi's compound, was called off last night but was scheduled to resume
today. "Such demonstrations will go on all week," said a National League
for Democracy source.
