Surely, if Aung San Suu Kyi were a British citizen, she could be deported legally. I believe she is a Burmese citizen.
As for leaving Burma and coming back to Burma, she could have done that when her husband was on deathbed.
IT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE THAT SHE WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED BACK IN.
Because the truth is that as a daughter of Burma she would be allowed back in. She did not leave Burma. Why? If she did and was allowed to come back in, all the accusations about the regime would go down the drain and she would lose all credibility. |

ZL u r partly right not because she is married to a foreigner,BUT because she is a FOREIGNER.
Su Kyi left Burma/Myanmar @ an very young age.Took up BRITISH citizenship.Married a well educated Mr.Aris.So She is Mrs.Aris.
Came back to BURMA on a VISITORS VISA to attend to her ailing mother.While there was thrown into the spot light on the back drop of her FATHERS status.
Educated & well known around the world mostly because of her Father.The people of Burma was looking 4 a leader,who else 2 turn 2,but Su Kyi.
The NLD was mainly disqualified fr the ELECTIONS because they elected her LEADER.
Being a foreigner that AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED her.Knowing all this NLD still took her on board to gain the "POPULARITY VOTE".
The goverment will not touch her,let anything happen,& give her more space, because if anything happens 2 her they will have 2 answer 2 the BRITISH.She will not leave, cause she will not b allowed bk in 2 the country being a "FOREIGNER".
GOD HELP U ALL.THE TRUTH NDS 2 B TOLD!!!!!

| NLD should register now so that it will become a legal political party under 2008 constitution, then it can participate freely. Also at the same time it should open a page for newcomers and require to make lots of reforms within the party. |

The most urgent and important thing is not these pretentious laws or the political prisoners. Admirable as the prisoners are, they choose to do it for a purpose.
At this moment the most important thing is to stop the government from killing, raping, torture and destruction.
Everybody must concentrate on this and for the moment this alone.
Stop raping and killing. Nothing else matter at this stage.
Aung San Suu Kyi will find that if she put ALL her effort in stopping killing and raping for now rather than doing anything else it is most rewarding and most important.
Please everybody stop the killings and raping. Please, please.
Aung San Suu Kyi, Zarganar, Kyaw Thu everybody.z |

Than Shwe has arranged to lower the noose for NLD.
Please everybody, condemn the killings, looting and raping by the military. Even though it is normal government policy in Burma, it is wrong. Please someone tell that nice president that raping these defenseless girls are not really to be proud of. In fact cowardly. They must be stopped NOW.
It is unbelievable that the people's champion NLD and a hosts of foreign visitors choose not to condemn the government for cruelty currently happening. It is NOT normal folks. |

| NLD should register this time to participate in the future election. They should stop the dream of 90 victory. They should respect Myanmar People's will of changes with democracy instead of holding party politics. This is the only way for NLD to fulfill People wish being waited for ages. Please register in respects of the national interest. |

| What is that man named Vijay Nambiar doing in Burma? For photo opportunity? Didn't he say Suu Kyi was out of touch with reality, stubborn and not relevant in the process anymore, etc, etc...last time he visited Burma. Like UN useless man Ganbari before him, role of the UN's so called envoys in Burma's struggle is totally useless. Burmese history has recorded them as such. |

The NLD entering the 'big tent' will be a major propaganda and political coup for the newly 'democratic' govt so they can stand tall and show off their democratic credentials, never mind the raging civil war turning ethnic homelands into hell and political prisoners still languishing behind bars with their health and youth steadily sapped away from them.
ASSK does not seem to have a lot of choice if she completely shuns violence even as an option notwithstanding her Western backers who have shown no qualms about supporting mass protests and popular uprisings including direct armed intervention in the Middle East.

And they'll be happy to welcome Burma into their new world order of profits before people and markets over mankind one way or the other. |
