Suu Kyi in good health: lawyer

Published

YANGON, Sept 11: Aung San Suu Kyi’s lawyer said on Thursday that he had held “positive” talks with the detained democracy leader and that she appeared in good health, after reports she was not accepting food.

Kyi Win said he had informed the Nobel Peace Prize winner of concerns about her health, after her National League for Democracy (NLD) party said last week that she had not accepted most of her food rations for three weeks.

Concerns that Aung San Suu Kyi was staging a hunger strike were heightened after she refused last week to meet junta’s liaison officer Aung Kyi.

Her lawyer said she appeared well during their two-hour discussion at her home—AFP
