Dr. Tin Myo Win, Aung San Suu Kyi’s regular doctor, was detained by the authorities on 7 May 2009. We understand that he has now been released but we are not aware that he has been able to see Mrs. Suu Kyi since her arrest.
We are in regular contact with Association of South East Asia Nations (ASEAN) countries regarding Burma's actions, including on Mrs. Suu Kyi’s arrest. We support the strong statements issued by a number of member countries, including Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand.
My European colleagues and I attended the EU-ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Phnom Penh on 27-28 May 2009, where I raised Aung San Suu Kyi’s arrest and our collective response with our Asian counterparts.
