Myanmar demonstrators stage 'prayer protest' for Suu Kyi



Yangon, May 30 (DPA) In a rare show of civil disobedience in military-run Myanmar, a score of protestors Tuesday staged a public 'prayer protest' to mark the third anniversary of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi's latest house arrest.

About 25 members of the opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) party marched to the Shwedagaon Pagoda, Yangon's famed Buddhist shrine, where they were blessed by monks and prayed together for Suu Kyi, eyewitnesses said.

The protestors wore signs around their necks reading 'Depayin Memorial', commemorating Suu Kyi's arrest three years ago.

Suu Kyi was arrested on May 30, 2003, in Depayin town, central Myanmar, while on a nationwide tour to rally support for the NLD - which won the 1990 general election but has been blocked from political power for the past 16 years.

Suu Kyi's caravan was attacked by thugs, believed to have been organised by the military, who killed several of her followers and provided the regime an excuse to put her under house arrest in Yangon, the former capital.

On Saturday the regime extended Suu Kyi's house arrest by another year.

The extension was deemed as a direct snub to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan who has personally appealed to the junta to release Suu Kyi, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 and has spend 10 of the past 17 years under house arrest.
