AFP/DPA - The Burmese military junta has put oppositionleader Aung San Suu 
Kyi under housearrest again. She is not allowed to leave her house since 
wednesday-morning. This is said by the BBC-radio on thursday morning. Suu 
Kyi, winner of the Nobelpeace Prize, was under house-arrest before, from 
1990 until 1995. (actually 1989- 1995, G, BCN)
Earlier on thursday a high ranking Burmese official confirmed the arrest of 
Kyi Maung, vice-president of  Suu Kyi's party, the National League for 
Democracy. Kyi Maung was arrested on wednesday-morning for questioning about 
his involvement with student-demonstrations earlier this week.
The official did not want to say where Kyi Maung was held. Between 1990 and 
1995 he was detained in the infamous Insein-prison in the capitol Rangoon 
for his role in the democratic oppositionmovement.
