11. Suu Kyi not well

Aung San Suu Kyi, the detained Burmese Opposition Leader,was to have met Ibrahim Gambari, the special UN envoy, yesterday.

According to her party, doctors have been visiting her home.

" We do not know she is still suffering from a serious illness or not" said a spokesman, Nyan Win.

The acting director of Burma Campaign UK, Mark Farmaner said "She did not look good in the picture, looked unusually thin and not so vibrant."

He said this should put fresh impetus to resolve the crisis and Gambari should get negotiations going this time.

The Leading General, Than Shwe has refused to talk to Gambari since his arrival on Saturday.

Last Friday the junta announced it would expel UN official in their country, Charles Petrie.

It accused the official of going beyond his duties by issuing statements hostile to the junta.
