The military junta planned to try Suu Kyi after an American John Yettaw swam across Inya Lake to her resident in Rangoon where she was under detention for nearly six years.


The current term of her house arrest since May 2003 expires late this month and her lawyer planned to appeal for here release.


The opposition leader faced five years jail term, if convicted, on the charge of violating house arrest condition which barred her from meeting with outsiders.


Amnesty International (AI) is also highlighting the detention of Aung San Suu Kyi's two female companions, Khin Khin Win and her daughter, who were arrested at the same time.


All three are facing trial on May 18 in connection with an incident at the beginning of May when an American national allegedly swam across the lake in front of her house and stayed there for two days.


Suu Kyi begged Yattaw to leave her resident as learned the American might cause problem for her, according to her lawyer Kyi Win.
