Suu Kyi's Youngest Son Allowed Rare Visit 

</center>

	The youngest son of Burma's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and the
late British  academic Michael Aris arrived in Burma yesterday for a
visit, the government said in a statement. 

	The statement said Suu Kyi  welcomed her son, Kim Htein Lin Aris, 21, 
at Rangoon airport.

	Kim Aris' visit had been kept  low- key to avoid political 
complications.There was no indication  if  her elder son Alexander, would
also visit soon.  

	Both of Aung San Suu Kyi's  sons have been stripped of their passports
by the military junta and would have been travelling on British
documents, diplomats said  . 

	Burmese officials have previously said that as Suu Kyi's sons are not
involved in politics they have had no problem in obtaining visas.

   	Michael Aris who died last month of prostate cancer on his 53rd
birthday  was accused of meddling in Burma's internal affairs during his
infrequent  visits to the country.
