Burmese Prime Minister Forced Out and Arrested

HeadlineOct 19, 2004

And this news from Burma, the nation’s military regime has forced out its prime minister and placed him under house arrest. The ousted prime minister, Gen. Khin Nyunt, is reportedly being charged with corruption. He was seen as one of the less hardline voices in the military junta. His removal is expected to further delay the stalled reconciliation process with the opposition led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
