A Burmese court on Friday delayed until Aug. 11 its verdict in the trial of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
Despite intense international pressure to release the democracy advocate, the junta that controls Burma appears intent on muzzling her as it prepares for 2010 elections to solidify its rule. The trial, concerning charges that Suu Kyi violated the terms of her house arrest, had been delayed repeatedly over the past three months.
