 YANGON, Myanmar (AP) - The military government on Tuesday extended by one year the house arrest of the deputy head of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi's party, despite calls by the party and international community to release him.
Officials from the Home Ministry visited the house of Tin Oo on Tuesday evening to read out the order extending his house arrest, according to a relative who asked not to be identified for fear of government reprisal. Myanmar's junta tightly controls the release of all news.
Detention orders come into force when they are delivered and read to the detainee.
