Statement Of Senator McConnell On Aung San Suu Kyi Verdict

U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement on Tuesday regarding the verdict against Aung San Suu Kyi:

"The sham verdict handed down today by the Burmese authorities against Aung San Suu Kyi deserves the condemnation of all nations. This noble lady has done nothing but seek representative government and peaceful reconciliation in her homeland. In return, the junta will continue to keep her under house arrest. No rational person can look upon this decision with anything but contempt."
