Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s lawyer said on Friday his legal assistant will travel to Naypyidaw next week to lodge a formal appeal against her continuing house arrest.
Suu Kyi’s house arrest was extended in May for a further year. She had already served five years, and her lawyer, Kyi Win, has said the extension was illegal.Kyi Win told The Irrawaddy he would meet Suu Kyi soon to discuss the appeal, which would be presented in Naypyidaw by his assistant, Hla Myo Myint.
Kyi Win said Suu Kyi would meet the regime's liaison officer, Aung Kyi, when her health permitted.
The French news agency AFP reported that Suu Kyi was receiving intravenous treatment to restore her health. She refused to receive food supplies at her home for four weeks in what was seen as a protest against the conditions of her detention.
Last week, the regime relaxed some restrictions, and Suu Kyi agreed to accept deliveries of food and other household supplies to her home, where she has been detained for more than 13 of the past 19 years.

Appealing over the illegal detention of the Nobel Peace Prize Winner to the illegal government?
I thought the NLD had labelled the military government as illegal government since mid-1990.
illegal X illegal = legitimate?
