Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi is in poor health and on a saline drip after the arrest of her private doctor last week and an unexpected visit from a US swimmer, it was disclosed Monday. Authorities allowed Dr Pyon Mo Ei to visit Suu Kyi Monday afternoon, after arresting her other private doctor Tin Myo Win on Thursday.
Suu Kyi, 63, was described as weak and on a drip infusion, sources who requested anonymity, said. According to Pyon Mo Ei, Suu Kyi had lost her appetite and had not eaten properly for three or four days. Suu Kyi has been under house arrest at her family compound in Yangon, which rims Inya Lake, since May 2003.
