Germany demands release of Burma's Suu Kyi

Nov 30 (AFP) - Germany on Tuesday demanded the immediate release from house arrest of Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi after the country's ruling junta extended her detention for another year.

"I demand the immediate lifting of the house arrest of Aung San Suu Kyi, the release of all political prisoners and the participation of representatives from all the political parties and all the ethnic groups in the constituent assembly of Myanmar," said junior foreign minister Kerstin Mueller in a statement.

"The involvement of all political and social players in Myanmar is an indispensable condition for a successful process of democratisation," Mueller added.
