(27 Aug 08-RV) Myanmar’s detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has refused to
retrieve the food delivered to her home since August 15th. The head of
foreign affairs for the National League for Democracy (NLD) said that Suu Kyi will
continue to reject provisions delivered to a checkpoint outside her heavily guarded
house until her demands are met. Last week Suu Kyi cancelled meetings with U.N. Special
Envoy Ibrahim Gambari during his six-day visit to Myanmar, also known as Burma.
