Myanmar defends Suu Kyi's extended detention



Kuala Lumpur, May 29 (DPA) Myanmar's foreign minister said here Monday the extension of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi's house arrest was a domestic issue and, therefore, the right of the ruling military junta.

Myanmar's military regime extended Suu Kyi's house arrest Saturday by another year. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate has been kept under arrest for the last three years.

Myanmar's Foreign Minister Nyan Win, who is in Malaysia for a two-day Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) meeting of foreign ministers, did not give reasons for the extension.

'This is not an international issue,' he told reporters on the sidelines of the meeting. 'This is only a domestic issue.'

Nyan Win said there were no plans to speak to his Malaysian and Thai counterparts regarding the extension. Both the countries have voiced their disappointment over the extension.

On Saturday, Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar had said NAM members would try and seek Myanmar's explanation for the detention order.

However, Syed Hamid, who headed a fact-finding team of southeast Asian delegates to Myanmar in March, where he was denied a meeting with Suu Kyi, said Monday that it was unlikely for him to meet Nyan Win during the two-day meeting due to shortage of time.

'So far in our meetings, nobody has brought (the extension) up,' Syed Hamid told reporters on the sidelines of the meeting.

'We have discussed human rights, but nothing specific yet,' he said.

Malaysia is the current chair of NAM.
