Burma's Aung San Suu Kyi appeal rejected (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

The Supreme Court in Burma has rejected an appeal by pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi against an extension of her house arrest.

Ms Suu Kyi has spent most of the past 20 years in some form of detention, despite her party overwhelmingly winning Burma's last general election.

The Burmese military government ignored those results but are planning their own elections for later in 2010.

Aung San Suu Kyi has already been disqualified from standing in these.

Her extended detention has been seen by some analysts as a further guarantee for the military that she will not be able to campaign for others in the elections either.
