Aung San Suu Kyi Put on Trial in Burma
--------------------------------------



Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi went on trial today on
charges of breaking the conditions of her house arrest after a US man
swam to her home. If convicted, she faces a further five years in
detention. Aung San Suu Kyi has spent most of the last nineteen years in
detention. We’ll have more on Burma later in the show.
