AFP : Aung San Suu Kyi under virtua



Aung San Suu Kyi under virtual house arrest: Myanmar opposition
Mon 10 Aug 98 - 10:55 GMT 

YANGON, Aug 10 (AFP) - Myanmar's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi is
under virtual house arrest with extra riot police and security checks
around her Yangon home, the National League for Democracy (NLD) said
Monday.

"This measure ... signifies increased restriction of (NLD leader) Aung San
Suu Kyi and is tantamount to putting her under house arrest," an NLD
statement said.

"If this continues, the NLD has no other recourse but to take legal
action."

The statement said two boom gates had been placed on University Avenue
either side of the Nobel laureate's house, where security guards conducted
"unnecessary" checks on all vehicles leaving the compound.
