Daw Aung San Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi taken to meet Myanmar official: witnesses


YANGON - MYANMAR'S
democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi was taken from her home, where she has spent a total of 12 years under house arrest, to meet with a junta officer on Friday, witnesses said.

She was taken from her home at about 1pm local time in a convoy to a nearby military facility used for official meetings, the witnesses said.

She was expected to meet with Labour Minister Aung Kyi, who was appointed by the junta to handle contacts with her in the wake of a deadly crackdown on pro-democracy protests in September. -- AFP
