The military junta in Burma has indicated pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi will remain under house arrest for years to come. A state-run newspaper has suggested in a commentary that she would remain detained until a new constitution was in place — a milestone that could take years to achieve. Meanwhile, the Burmese military has appointed a government official to act as a liaison between with Suu Kyi and Burma’s military generals. This comes as The Guardian newspaper reports the Burmese government has shut down some of the last communication links between Burma and the outside world. Exiled dissident groups in neighboring Thailand say the Burmese government has seized up to 10 satellite telephones and countless computers that had been smuggled into Burma. The military junta had already shut down the Internet and blocked mobile and fixed-line telephones. The British and U.S. embassies in Rangoon are now impossible to get through to from outside the country.
