Asean calls for release of Aung San Suu Kyi

Thailand, as the Chair of Asean on Wednesday, expressed its "disappointment" over Burma's ruling on its opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

The grouping which Burma is a member called for immediate release of all political prisoners including 64-year-old Aung San Suu Kyi.

The call came a day after Burma's court sentenced Aung San Suu Kyi another 18 months for breaching condition of her house arrest after an American John Yettaw swam across the Inya Lake to stay two nights at her resident in Rangoon in May.
