BANGKOK, March 29 (Reuters) - Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi
will not go to England to perform funeral rites for her late husband Michael
Aris despite a government offer allowing the trip, a confidant said on
Monday.

Worried she may not be allowed back into Myanmar by the military government
if she went, Suu Kyi has begun performing Buddhist rites for her late
husband in Yangon, vice president of her National League for Democracy (NLD)
party, Tin Oo, told Reuters.
