Burma’s pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi met with Cambodian
opposition leader Sam Rainsy in Rangoon on Saturday to discuss their
parallel struggles for democracy, AFP reports. Rainsy heads the Cambodia
National Rescue Party but lives in self-imposed exile in France. He
faces 11 years in prison if he returns after being convicted. Critics
say Cambodian strongman Hun Sen arranged for the politically motivated
charges. Suu Kyi spent decades under house arrest under the previous
military government. “He met with Ang San Suu Kyi and shared the
experience in their struggle for democracy and how to push for free and
fair elections for the two countries,” Yim Sovann, spokesman for
Rainsy’s party told AFP.
