Burmese military accuse Aung San Suu Kyi of empty gestures



The military government in Burma has accused the opposition leader, Aung San
Suu Kyi, of empty political gestures and trying to seek publicity.

It was responding to a statement last week by Mrs Suu Kyi that the
authorities might deport her.

The government urged her party, the National League for Democracy, to be
more constructive and to help Burma get through the Asian economic crisis.

Correspondents say there's been a campaign in the official Burmese media
questioning whether Mrs Suu Kyi is still entitled to Burmese nationality,
because she's married to a British citizen.
