Suu sues

The National League for Democracy in Burma says it has started legal action
against a leading figure in the military government, Lieutenant-general Khin
Nyunt.

The NLD said in a statement the action accuses Khin Nyunt of arbitrarily
arresting party members and coercing them to resign from the NLD.

Last weekend the government-controlled press said that the Burmese military
authorities were considering whether to arrest the NLD leader, Aung San Suu
Kyi, on charges of making contact with illegal groups, including Karen
guerrillas.
