(AP Photo/David Longstreath) Myanmar democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi is on trial today for breaking the conditions of her house arrest because an American "well wisher" entered her home. She planned to plead not guilty because the intruder was not invited, her attorney told the BBC. Suu Kyi has already spent 13 years in jail or under house arrest. If she's found guilty now she faces as much as another five years in detention and would remain out of sight during next year's elections. (More Aung San Suu Kyi stories.) Report an error
