Suu Kyi's health 'is improving'

Ms Suu Kyi was taken into prison in Rangoon on 14 May

The health of jailed Burmese democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi is improving after she complained of leg cramps and a lack of sleep, her lawyer has said.

Ms Suu Kyi had recovered after taking medicine and "can now sleep well", lawyer Nyan Win said after meeting her at the jail where she is being held.

Ms Suu Kyi's NLD party on Friday voiced "grave concern" over her health.

She is on trial for breaching house arrest terms after letting a US intruder stay at her home for two days.

Ms Suu Kyi, who is being held at Rangoon's notorious Insein prison, denies the charges and faces five years behind bars if found guilty.

Mr Win earlier said the court decided to delay final arguments in her case until 5 June. They had been expected to take place on Monday.

Ms Suu Kyi is widely expected to be convicted at the trial.

Observers believe that Burma's military leaders will seize on the incident to keep her behind bars during what they say will be multi-party elections in 2010.

Shortly before her arrest on 14 May she was treated for dehydration and low blood pressure.

Ms Suu Kyi has been under house arrest and banned from seeing all but a small group of people for 13 of the past 19 years.
