Myanmar's Suu Kyi will not accept freedom for herself

Pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi is no longer under security detention, but will not accept freedom until all those arrested with her five months ago are released, a UN human-rights envoy said yesterday.

"She wants to be the last person to have access to freedom of movement," the envoy, Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, told reporters.

Pinheiro met with Suu Kyi at her lakeside home Thursday during his weeklong mission to investigate human rights in the military-ruled country.

The Nobel Peace laureate has been under detention since a bloody clash in northern Myanmar on May 30 between her supporters and a pro-junta mob. She was first held at an undisclosed location and then at her Yangon residence.
