SUU KYI TAKEN UNDER
TEMPORARY ARREST
San Suu Kyi has been put under temporary arrest after
a violence clash between her
supporters and pro-junta
group in northern
Military spokesman Brigadier Gen. Than
Tun told
reporters that her entourage was
also taken the safe
house and put in “protective
custody.” He further said
that the conflict erupted on 30th
May, leaving four
people dead and 50 were injured.
Aung San Suu Kyi was on a month-long political tour of
supporters repeatedly clashed with
members of the
junta sponsored Union Solidarity
Development
Association (USDA).
NLD party secretary U Tin Oo and 17 NLD youth members
had accompanied their leader on the
trip, but their
ranks grew as scores of supporters
joined them along
the way.
Than Tun said there were no
immediate plans to bring
Aung San Suu Kyi back to the capital. She was due to
return June 4.
The SPDC spokesman expressed confidence that the
dramatic events would not
completely derail the
political reconciliation process
between the junta and
Daw Suu’ which is widely viewed as having stalled in
recent months.

“ Investigations are still going
on,” he said, adding
that it was too early to comment on
what action would
be taken against the NLD.
Labor Minister Tinn Win complained
that Aung San Suu
Kyi had been giving anti-government public speeches.
And he further said that it is regrettable that these
incidents happened, but this was
brought upon them by
their own actions, because they had
been disturbing
the peace at all of the townships
that they have
visited.
The junta sealed the NLD’s
headquarters on 31th
May, prior to the announcement of
her arrest. They also cut down the
telephone lines of
the NLD members to make them
communication cut among
the NLD members.
