Description:
"The lawsuit against Daw Aung San Suu Kyi filed by her brother Aung San Oo is
for half ownership of the house where she now lives. As with most property
disputes, and particularly in the very difficult situation Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is

have been a more appropriate course of action for Aung San Oo to take. There
would have been many options available, including negotiating a money equivalent
of the half share or establishing a trust in which both interests could be
held. However, he decided to file a suit against his sister without even affording
her prior notice of his intentions. This approach reeks of a sinister attempt to
publicly humiliate the acclaimed leader of the National League for Democracy
(NLD), which overwhelmingly won the one and only democratic general election
conducted by the military junta..."
