Here are some the latest headlines on Burma:
The Irrawaddy reports that Kyi Win, lawyer for Nobel Peace laureate and Prime Minister-elect Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, has sent another letter to Burmese Premier General Thein Sein ahead of the third attempt at appealing the pro-democracy leader’s extended detention.
The Irrawaddy also reports that “five labor activists were arrested recently in Rangoon after attending a labor conference held on the Thai-Burma border, an exiled labor group.”
In response to this, the AFL-CIO has condemned the junta and expressed solidarity with the activists.
