The Associated Press is reporting that Nobel Peace laureate and Prime Minister-elect Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy Party has expressed concern about her health. Suu Kyi has not accepted food delivered to her home in Burma, where she has spent 13 of the last 19 years under house arrest, for almost three weeks. It is still not known whether or not she is on hunger strike, which was speculated after she failed to make the first pick-up. Reuters reported earlier this week that Suu Kyi has also refused to meet with her doctor and Minister of Relations Aung Kyi, who is in charge of liaising with her. She also declined to meet with U.N. Special Envoy Imbrahim Gambari during his visit to Burma last month. Her lawyer Kyi Win, whom she did meet with recently, quoted her as saying: “I am well, but I have lost some weight. I am a little tired and I need to rest.”
