US 'deeply concerned' over Burma's Suu Kyi

September 10, 2008 16:40:01

The United States says it remains "deeply concerned" about the welfare of Burma's detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi but can't confirm reports she is on a hunger strike.

A State Department spokesman says they're aware of reports that Ms Suu Kyi has refused food deliveries.

Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy said last week the Nobel Peace laureate had refused to accept food from the junta for three weeks, although the military government denied she was on a hunger strike.

Ms Suu Kyi has spent most of the past 19 years under house arrest.
