The relationship between Burma and the international community can worsen if the military junta unjustly sentences Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, said Aung Naing Oo, a Burmese political analyst. Suu Kyi, the leader of National League for Democracy, has been detained in Insein prison and is being sued for allowing an American into her house.
"The relationship between the international community and Burma will nose dive if this issue is not resolved smoothly and this will not be good for the Burmese people," said Aung Naing Oo.
The US and EU have imposed economic sanctions on Burma but at the same time the international community has granted humanitarian aid to the military ruled country. But the trial will go against the Burmese military junta vis a vis the international community.
The international community is concerned over Suu Kui’s trial and the US and Australian governments have released statements condemning it. It is learnt that the European Union will release a statement.
The American Embassy in Rangoon has not as yet clarified about John William Yattaw, who intruded into Daw Suu's house and stayed for two days. The military junta is using this as a ploy to exclude Suu Kyi and her party the NLD from the 2010 election.
"It shows that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is not safe because a person sneaked into her house," said U Nyan Win, the of NLD spokesperson
The rumour is that the US citizen wants peace and has been doing research for peace. It's not clear whether he was alone in the act or was aided by other associates or if the junta is involved in the entire thing.
The incident occurred only two weeks ahead of her release from house arrest after six years of consecutive detention. Questions are being raised about the coincidence and regarding the timing.
"It is unfortunate because it's happening at this time. There are many questions but no answers. Why did this man sneak into her house? It is obvious that if the military junta really wants to detain her for another year or two, the incident helps a great deal," said Aung Naing Oo.
Now the military junta has sued Daw Suu in court. Besides, her two house mates and family doctor were arrested. It seems that the military junta has a systematic plan.
