	June 16, 2008

Myanmar’s military junta has said, the detained opposition leader and Nobel Peace Laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi deserved to be beaten like an errant child for threatening national security. Seeking to justify the 62-year-old’s latest stretch of house arrest, now in its sixth year, official newspapers said, Suu Kyi and other detainees had been in contact with and had received cash from rebel guerillas and foreign governments.
