Daw Suu appeared in the state run paper New Light of Myanmar (the Suu Kyi article has no direct link) on Nov. 10th.
"While putting energy into the democratization process, the government has been making efforts for the national reconsolidation.As part of efforts for transition to democracy by implementing the seven-step Road Map and ensuring peace and stability and bringing about development of the country in unity and cooperation, Minister for Labour U Aung Kyi was assigned duties as Minister for Relations and he met Daw Aung San Suu Kyi at Seinle Kantha Guest House here from 1 pm to 1.25 pm and from 2.35 pm to 3.30 pm today.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi held discussion with Chairman of the National League for Democracy U Aung Shwe, Secretary U Lwin, Central Executive Committee member of NLD U Nyunt Wai and Spokesperson of NLD U Nyan Win from 1.30 pm to 2.30 pm today."
It seems despite skeptism of Burma watchers everywhere (myself included), Daw Suu is telling her NLD party members she "believes the generals intend to work toward democracy".
Still one can only assume such a statement comes with a certain expectation to read somewhat between the lines.
"This meeting was conducted in a government-controlled guesthouse, which in all likelihood was bugged by Burmese intelligence services, inhibiting open discussion," Human Rights Watch said in a statement Saturday. The group added the generals had "yet to release political prisoners and protesters, end military rule or even hold serious discussion with the political opposition."
Contradicting other reports that she might be released soon, Aung San Suu Kyi seems resigned to continue her stay under house arrest but is pushing for the release of political prisoners.
"She is full of ideas," Nyan Win said, adding that the Nobel peace laureate looked "fit, well and energetic like before."
U Nyan Win is the spokesperson for the NLD, not to be confused for Foreign Minister and Tatmadaw General Nyan Win. Who, found himself in an agitated confrontation in New York last month....
