Local journalists invited to Su Kyi trial again

Burma’s military regime allows the local journalists for hearing the trial of opposition icon Aung San Suu Kyi back behind closed doors , after allowing diplomats and journalists to attend the hearing for just one day.
The junta had opened up the proceedings at the notorious Insein Prison near Yangon on last Wednesday, in an apparent concession to fierce international criticism of the charges against the Nobel Peace Prize winner.
“The local journalists have invited recently for press conference and to hear the trail . We also have received the ph call from scrutiny board in this evening (Monday)” said local journalist to yangontoday. After Only for one day were diplomats and press allowed and this is the second time for press.
