The timing on this story from the Australia Network News seems odd to me. It could be the case that Aung San Suu Kyi’s lawyer is attempting to nudge the State Peace and Development Council, aka Myanmar’s military dictators, or that he is anticipating a favorable outcome to back channel talks.

Burma’s detained opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, is reported to be planning what is termed a “political action” for the benefit of the country.

Her lawyer, Nyan Win, says details will be announced next week.

First the issue will be discussed by the executive of Ms Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy.

Nyan Win was speaking after an hour’s meeting with the opposition leader at her lakeside home in Rangoon.

Regardless of outcomes, it appears that residents of Myanmar will be living in interesting times for the next week or so.
