Aung San Suu Kyi sous la menace d'un mandat d'arrêt?

Le 51e anniversaire de la figure de proue du mouvement démocratique en 
Birmanie a été marqué hier par de nouvelles arrestations des opposants de 
la junte militaire. Nombre d'entre eux s'étaient rassemgblés pour 
l'occasion devant la résidence du prix Nobel de la paix à Rangoon, comme 
ils ont pris l'habitude de le faire tous les week-end. Aung san Suu Kyi 
pourrait les rejoindre sous les verrous  cette semaine, selon deux grands 
quotidiens japonais qui affirment que la junte aurait lancé un mandat 
d'arrêt  contre elle. Si les autorités birmanes démentent, Tokyo les a 
mis en garde, laissant entendre qu'une arrestation de Aung San Suu Kyi le 
conduirait à réexaminer ses aides à la Birmanie.

And this report from Strasbourg - on proposed European Parliamentary 
dropping of tarif advantages for Burma, dated June 20 1996

STRASBOURG (France)  -- The European Parliament urged
the European Union on Thursday to isolate Burma economically and 
politically
in a bid to force it to move towards democracy.

    The parliament said a move in June to ban the National League for
Democracy of opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu 
Kyi
was a ``serious attack on human rights and freedom of expression.''

    Since her release from six years of house arrest in July Suu Kyi has 
made
repeated, unanswered pleas to the ruling State Law and Order Restoration
Council to hold a dialogue with her party to find a way to achieve 
democrasy
for Burma.
