Clinton 'deeply troubled' by Aung San Suu Kyi charges
Thursday May 14, 2009
WASHINGTON (AFP) — US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday she was "deeply troubled" by new charges brought by Myanmar's military junta against pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi.
Clinton joined a growing chorus of international condemnation after the junta charged the pro-democracy icon with breaching the terms of her house arrest over a bizarre incident in which a US man swam to her lakeside house.
"I am deeply troubled by the Burmese government's decision to charge Aung San Suu Kyi for a baseless crime," she told reporters during a media briefing with Malaysia's foreign minister Datuk Anifah bin Haji Aman.
"We oppose the regime's efforts to use this incident as a pretext to place further unjustified restrictions on her," Clinton said, calling for authorities to release Aung San Suu Kyi "immediately and unconditionally."
She added she wanted to raise the issue with countries like China, which is believed to have strong influence over the military junta.
She also hinted that she had discussed Aung San Suu Kyi in the context of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), of which member Myanmar and Malaysia are members.
"The ASEAN charter sets a very clear direction for all countries in the region to be headed," Clinton said.
ASEAN has long been wary of criticizing Myanmar but the 10-nation club has found itself embarrassed by the regime, led by the reclusive General Than Shwe.
Aung San Suu Kyi goes on trial on Monday on the charges, which carry a jail term of up to five years and would stretch her detention past its supposed expiry date this month and through controversial elections due in 2010.
The 63-year-old would not be allowed to return home but would be held at a special house on the grounds of Insein Prison while proceedings were under way, her lawyer Kyi Win added.
Howard Berman, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, echoed the call for the release of the pro-democracy leader.
