John Yettaw had a divine vision to save Aung San Suu Kyi.Yettaw told the court that he had a dream of a terrorist plot to assassinate Aung San Suu Kyi. In order to warn her, he travelled all the way from Missouri. He said God asked him to go to Myanmar to deliver the warning to her and to the government, which in his vision, was blamed for the assassination.
Yettaw, a 53 year-old Mormon,insisted on his story of divine inspiration.
On May 4, he swam across a lake to Aung San Suu Kyi's home, and was allowed to stay after complaining of leg cramps. In November 2008, he had also paid a visit to her house, and she reported the matter to the authorities.
Yettaw is himself charged with entering the country illegally, trespassing and contributing to the violation of the conditions of Aung San Suu Kyi's house arrest. It's reported that Yettaw swam twice to her house, and delivered a Bible to her. Aung San Suu Kyi is a Buddhist.
