Daw Suu, ill, ends roadside protest
Prominent Burmese democracy leader and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu
Kyi on Monday ended a 13-day roadside protest against the military
government over her right to travel outside of Rangoon, the capital. Suu
Kyi, giving into pleas from her political party to take better care of
her failing health, returned to her home. The party's appeal followed
increased political pressure against the military rulers when Rangoon
students on Sunday held the first anti-government protest in two years.
