Myanmar's nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi has lodged an appeal with the country's top court in a bid to overturn a guilty verdict for her breach of a security law last year. Ms Suu Kyi's legal team submitted the appeal to a special three-judge panel of the Supreme Court and hopes to have the 18-month extension to her house arrest term scrapped on the grounds that the August 11 verdict was unlawful. Lawyer Nyann Win said this was their last opportunity to appeal. The court ruled Ms Suu Kyi breached her house arrest conditions by harbouring American intruder John Yettaw for two days after he swam to her lakeside home to tell her he had been sent by God to protect her from "terrorists". Mr Yettaw was sentenced to seven years' hard labour but was deported five days later after a visit by US Senator Jim Webb, one of the few Westerners who have successfully engaged with the reclusive generals.
