Tin Oo's detention extended

YANGON: Myanmar's military rulers have told the detained deputy leader of the main Opposition party that he will remain under house arrest for another year, relatives said on Tuesday. The National League for Democracy Vice-Chairman Tin Oo (78) was arrested along with the party's leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, in May 2003 after Ms. Suu Kyi's motorcade was attacked by a pro-junta mob. Mr. Tin Oo was first held in Kale prison, infamous for its harsh conditions. The NLD said Mr. Tin Oo was being held under the same law as Ms. Suu Kyi, the 1975 State Protection Law. — AP
