Here’s what’s been happening in Burma this weekend:
The Associated Press reports that Burma’s junta has denied requests from the U.S. Embassy for access to John Yeattaw, “an American arrested for allegedly swimming to the lakeside home of detained Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and sneaking inside.”
Time Magazine has more on the alleged encounter and the fallout.
The AP also reports that Suu Kyi’s doctor has been taken into custody for questioning following the hubub at her home, where she resides under house arrest.
The Democratic Voice of Burma reports that “over 60 British Members of Parliament, including two former Foreign Office ministers, have called for a United Nations commission of inquiry into crimes against humanity in Burma.”
