Suu Kyi eases stance on Myanmar sanctions

Myanmar opposition icon Aung San Suu Kyi has eased her stance on sanctions, her lawyer said yesterday, as the country marked the second anniversary of the junta's bloody crackdown on monk-led protests.
The detained Nobel laureate has written to military regime leader Than Shwe offering suggestions about how to get Western sanctions against the country lifted, after years of espousing punitive measures against the ruling generals.
