Burma: 'Grave concern' expressed for Suu Kyi's health in jail

Detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi urgently needs medical attention in prison, her party said yesterday, while closing arguments in her trial were delayed until the end of next week for unknown reasons. The party statement said it was "gravely concerned" about the Nobel laureate's health, saying she cannot sleep well because she suffers from leg cramps. Suu Kyi, 63, was treated for low blood pressure and dehydration a few days after an American was arrested for sneaking into her home. Suu Kyi could face five years in prison for violating the terms of her house arrest.
