Aung San Suu Kyi has been moved from prison to house arrest after more than five years behind bars. The decision to transfer Myanmar’s deposed former leader is viewed as an attempt to end the junta’s international isolation, reports the Telegraph.
Mark Farmaner, the director of Burma Campaign UK, said: “Moving Aung San Suu Kyi isn’t about change or reform – it’s about public relations designed to preserve military rule. No-one should be fooled.”
