Pro-junta gang attacks Suu Kyi supporters in Burma
Updated
Pro-junta thugs have broken up a rally by supporters of Burma democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi on her birthday on Thursday.
At least six truckloads of the so-called 'Masters of Force' gang members waded into the crowd outside the headquarters of Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy in the former capital, Rangoon.
Witnesses say they saw the gang slapping and beating NLD members.
Suu Kyi's confinement was extended in May, despite international pleas to the generals to end her latest stretch of detention, which began in 2003.
