Asean envoy in Myanmar for HR inspection


Asean's special envoy to Myanmar arrived in the capital Yangon yesterday to press the military junta on democracy and human rights, according to security sources.

Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar, who was welcomed by Myanmar's foreign minister Nyan Win, will meet with top junta officials but has been blocked from seeing jailed democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
