President Obama has issued a statement calling for the unconditional and immediate release of Aung San Suu Kyi. But no effect can be discerned from the authorities in Myanmar, as her trial continues.

The American intruder, John Yettaw, who caused all the problems by swimming to Aung San Suu Kyi's home, is expected to testify in her trial. Aung San Suu Kyi is alleged to have broken the terms of her house arrest by letting an outsider to stay in her house. Yettaw claims that he had dreamt of her being assassinated and wanted to warn her about it.

Most observers feel that Aung San Suu Kyi will be found guilty. The best that her supporters can realistically hope for is that she will not be sentenced to as long as a five year term. They have been praying for her.
