Burma Warning on Suu Kyi Protests
Source: BBC

Burma's military rulers have warned supporters of jailed pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi not to protest when her trial verdict is announced.

A verdict is expected on Friday in her trial for breaching the terms of her house arrest by allowing an uninvited US man stay in her home in Rangoon.


State media cautioned against protests, saying "we have to ward off subversive elements and disruptions".

Despite international calls for her release, a guilty verdict is expected.

The official New Light of Myanmar newspaper said: "Look out if some arouse the people to take to the streets to come to power. In reality they are anti-democracy elements, not pro-democracy activists."
