Burmese Pro-Democracy Leader Suu Kyi Nears End of Prison Term
-------------------------------------------------------------



Reports are emerging from Burma that the Burmese military junta has
approved the release of jailed pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
The Nobel laureate’s latest prison term is set to expire on Saturday.
She has spent 15 of the past 21 years in detention. Suu Kyi is expected
to reject a conditional release if the Burmese junta insists she abandon
political activity.
