Myanmar on Monday denied US allegations that opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has begun a hunger strike, just days after the junta unveiled a plan to shift the country towards "democracy''.
The government "dismisses the claim by the US State Department deputy spokesman that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is on a hunger strike. The statement is groundless,'' according to a foreign ministry statement released through Yangon's embassy in Bangkok.
Washington said it had learned that Aung San Suu Kyi had launched a hunger strike while being detained by the military, without revealing how it had obtained such information, nor when she had started the strike.
Wonder when the Bush Doctrine will be applied to Burma. Do they have a lot of oil? Anyway, more about Suu Kyi and her country is available at DASSK.org.
