Suu Kyi Wins Concessions from the Regime
Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has won some concessions from the military regime, including future deliveries of international magazines and personal mail, according to her lawyer, Kyi Win.
Kyi Win visited Suu Kyi on Thursday, and on Friday he told The Irrawaddy that in return for the government concessions she agreed to accept deliveries again of food and household supplies.

“She was aware that people are worried about her health,” said Kyi Win “But she said that she knows well how to take care of herself.”
Suu Kyi’s doctor, Tin Myo Win, would visit her on Sunday and then report on her health and on the reports that she had been on a hunger strike, Kyi Win said.
Suu Kyi would again accept outside supplies after the Sunday meeting with her doctor, who would bring her letters from her two sons, who live abroad.
Kyi Win said she would also be allowed to receive international magazines such as Time and Newsweek and local newspapers.
He told The Irrawaddy: “She is very happy. I’m very happy too. It is positive for both the authorities and her.”
Suu Kyi had been demanding better conditions of her house arrest, including access to information, deliveries of private mail and monthly visits by her physician.
Her party spokesman, Nyan Win, said she had also asked for Internet access, but it wasn’t known whether that request would be granted.
Kyi Win said Suu Kyi had also pressed for greater freedom of movement for the two women who help her in the household.
One of the women was admitted to hospital this week, suffering from an undisclosed illness, and the authorities denied visitors access to her ward.
The other housekeeper, Khin Khin Win, a member of Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy, was now allowed to move freely in and out of Suu Kyi’s compound on University Avenue, Kyi Win said.
The lawyer said that during their two-hour meeting on Thursday he and Suu Kyi had discussed a legal appeal against her current term of house arrest.
Suu Kyi was now prepared also to meet the regime’s liaison minister, Aung Kyi, and a meeting had been scheduled for September 15, Kyi Win said.
Suu Kyi has spent more than 13 of the past 19 years under house arrest. Her current term of detention began in May, 2003, after her convoy was attacked by thugs backed by the regime.
