Here’s the latest on what’s happening in Burma, specifically with regards to the ongoing military trial of democracy leader and Nobel Peace laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi:
The Agence France-Presse reports on the defense Suu Kyi’s legal team is mounting.
The CBC reports that Suu Kyi herself is set to testify this week in her trial.
Reuters adds that the junta will also reopen the trial to the press. (It opened the trial one day last week.)
The Associated Press reports on how the trial has “dashed” the recently improved relationship between Burma and the U.S.
The AP also reports on a bomb that was found and defused on a train outside Rangoon. The junta has blamed the All Burma Students’ Democratic Front, despite the fact that no suspects have been apprehended yet.
The Guardian‘s Meghan Clyne writes about how Suu Kyi needs the UN “to act, not talk.”
Finally, Russ Wellen, who has been doing good stuff for The Huffington Post on Burma, writes about how the junta “not only tread on their people but [also] spit at the West” for Newshoggers.
