Myanmar Court hears final appeal of San Suu Kyi

Myanmar's Supreme Court has heard a final appeal against the extended house arrest of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi. Her sentence was extended by 18 months last year after a US man swam uninvited to her lakeside home in Rangoon. <br/><br/>An earlier appeal was rejected by a lower court. The hearing comes days after the latest in a series of meetings between Ms Suu Kyi and a member of the military government. Her lawyers argued that the charges against their client were brought using a law from a constitution which is now defunct. A decision is not expected for at least a week.
