An appeal filed by Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi for her release from house arrest was rejected by a Burmese court on Thursday.
The court decision comes just two days ahead of Suu Kyi’s expected release. The appeal was made by Suu Kyi to prove her innocence. It is unclear if the appeal will affect Suu Kyi’s possible release.
In the runup to elections in Burma last Sunday the military Junta had said Suu Kyi would be released after the elections.

In the runup to elections in Burma last Sunday the military Junta had said Suu Kyi would be released after the elections.
“She has to be freed as there is no law under which her detention can be extended,” Nyan Win, spokesman for the National League for Democracy, Suu Kyi’s party, told the Associated Press.
According to Win, Suu Kyi will not accept her release if any conditions are imposed.
Maung Zarni, a Burmese activists and scholar attached to the London School of Economics says that if the military want to keep the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner detained, they can easily find or make up an excuse.
