Junta seems to have have forgot the power of listining, whole world is crying that Suu Kyi is innocent and the latest charge is not genuine to put her behind the bars, but Junta started the trial and trying to extend the detention period for another one year.Next year Junta have planned to conduct election and they dont want the free Suu Kyi in election days.

Burma's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has gone on trial in Rangoon.

She is charged with breaching the terms of her house arrest, because of a visit by an American man who swam across a lake to her house earlier this month.

A lawyer for Ms Suu Kyi says she will plead not guilty as the American had not been invited.

The charges have been widely condemned as baseless, but a guilty verdict would mean she was in jail during the run-up to elections planned next year.

Ms Suu Kyi has already spent 13 of the past 19 years in jail or detained in her home, and she faces a further three to five years if found guilty of these latest charges.
