YANGON (AFP) – The party of detained Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Sunday urged the military regime to allow her to receive medical attention, saying it was concerned about her health.
The 63-year-old Nobel Laureate was placed on an intravenous drip by her doctor’s assistant on Friday because she cannot eat, has low blood pressure and is dehydrated, said party spokesman Nyan Win.
But Myanmar authorities refused to grant the assistant permission to visit her again at her home on Saturday, while her physician is being detained by police on unspecified charges, he said.
“We are worried for her health situation. There should be no restrictions for medical treatment,” Nyan Win, the spokesman for her National League for Democracy (NLD) party, told AFP.
