Burma under pressure to free Aung San Suu Kyi
Burma is facing intense international pressure to free pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi after she was imprisoned ahead of a new trial next week for breaching the terms of her house arrest.
Aung San Suu Kyi may be freed during the national elections in Burma, Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said on Tuesday, predicting that the polls could be held during the second half of 2010.
