Lawyer says Suu Kyi is thin but well

Myanmar's detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has lost some weight but is feeling well, her lawyer said yesterday after a 30-minute meeting with her.
Kyi Win said he went to the Nobel peace laureate's lakeside Yangon home, where she has been confined for most of the last 19 years, to show her a draft of a legal appeal against her ongoing detention.
Exiled dissidents have said they believed that the 63-year-old could be staging a hunger strike, but Kyi Win declined to comment on the reports.
Her National League for Democracy (NLD) party said last week that she had not collected her food supplies for the previous two weeks, but said the circumstances were unclear and downplayed speculation of a hunger strike.
"She says she is well, but she has lost some weight," Kyi Win told reporters. "She told me, 'I am a little tired and I need to rest'."
He said he left her a draft of the appeal for her to read over, saying their meeting was too short for him to discuss it with her in detail.
