Suu Kyi verdict is ‘painfully obvious’

29 Jul 2009


Burma democracy leader and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi says Friday's verdict in her trial on charges of violating the terms of her house arrest will be “painfully obvious”.

The trial has drawn international condemnation but that has not deterred the ruling junta, which appears determined to find her guilty and keep her behind bars through elections planned for next year.

The court rejected all but two defence witnesses.
