"Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia - have raised concerns about Burma's move to lodge new charges against detained Aung San Suu Kyi, and called for her release. Burma, itself a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, has lodged fresh charges against the Burmese democracy icon, stemming from an incident in which an American swam across a lake to stay at her house.

The move by the three countries is seen as unusual. By convention, Asean members do not intervene in each other's internal affairs.

Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said yesterday all countries were concerned about the credibility of any Burmese probe into the US man's action. "What we would like to know is what the truth is, what the intent of that US man is, how could he pass the security guards surrounding Mrs Suu Kyi's house, who is behind this and is there some sort of conspiracy?" Mr Kasit said. "I don't know. But I think the facts should be told to the public."

Mrs Suu Kyi and her two maids will go before the court on Monday.Mr Kasit hoped the process would be transparent and Mrs Suu Kyi's period for detention would not be extended further.
"We would like to see Mrs Suu Kyi and political prisoners released, as reflected in the Asean chairman's statement at the 14th Asean summit in Cha-am last March," he said."
