Why RFA does not sue Suu Kyi, inste



>From The Bangkok Post, 07/25/98


Her suspicions were aroused by an interview given by retired Brig-Gen Aung
Gyi with RFA on June 10 in Washington. Aung Gyi, while criticising the
military government, said Gen Ne Win was the only person who could save
Burma. He also said Aung San Suu Kyi should be sued for evading taxes on
monies granted her after winning the Nobel Peace Prize and other awards.

Burmese analysts believe Aung Gyi could not have given the interview
without the blessing of Slorc. He split with Aung San Suu Kyi after the
1988 uprising and had been jailed three times since the 1960s by the
military for his political beliefs.
