Suu Kyi visits Myanmar refugees in Thailand
None
Aung San Suu Kyi turned her attention to Myanmar's long-standing refugee crisis Saturday with a visit to a sprawling camp on Thailand's border to get her first glimpse of the hardships faced by hundreds of thousands who have fled war in her homeland.
The six-day journey this week is the first trip abroad in 24 years for Nobel Peace Prize laureate Suu Kyi, who this year made the transition from former political prisoner to opposition parliamentarian. She has used her tour of Thailand primarily to draw attention to the plight of her compatriots abroad. (AP)
