Lawsuit against Daw Aung San Suu Kyi to continue

July 1, 2003

While the international community and the people of Burma re concentrating on the Dipeyin incident and the detention of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, a SPDC court had recently decided to continue the inheritance lawsuit against her by her brother.

The decision was taken on the 16th of June and the trial is to resume tomorrow, said the NLD lawyers. Daw Aung San Suu Kuyi’s legal team headed by U Kyi Win will explain their case and the court is likely to take another decision.

Although it is rumoured that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s brother U Aung San Oo is in Rangoon, the inheritance lawsuit is not the most important matter at the moment, said lawyers but his early arrival for the Martyrs’ Day (19 July) is quite extraordinary and the Rangoon residents are saying that there might be some kinds of deal between him and the military junta.

According to the lawyers, despite the lawsuit, the house is being kept as it is and some NLD youth are living in it. But everyone is worried about what would happen later and some people believe that the authorities are keeping Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in prison so that they can confiscate her house.
