Here are the latest Burma-related stories:
The New York Times writes about the people of Burma, “preoccupied with their own severe poverty and…only vaguely aware of” the ongoing military trial of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the democratically-elected Prime Minister and Nobel Peace laureate who has been under house arrest for 13 of the last 19 years (hence the vague awareness of her and her situation).
CNN reports on Suu Kyi’s trial as it nears the end.
The BBC reflects on the “gamble” in U.N. Secretary General Ban ki-Moon’s recent visit to Burma.
