McConnell On The Health Of Aung San Suu Kyi

U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell delivered the following statement on Monday on the health of Aung San Suu Kyi:

And finally, word has reached me that the health of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi has taken a turn for the worse and that the Burmese government is not allowing her to get the medical attention she needs.

I join the Administration in calling for Burmese officials to allow her doctor the access he needs to treat her. The Obama administration is currently reviewing our nation's policies toward Burma.

It is important for the international community to press for Suu Kyi's unconditional release. We also need to continue to call for an end to attacks against ethnic minorities.
