Inside Burma as Suu Kyi faces trial

Burma's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has gone on trial in Rangoon.

She is charged with breaching the terms of her house arrest, because of a visit by an American man who swam across a lake to her house earlier this month.

A lawyer for Ms Suu Kyi says she will plead not guilty as the American, John Yettaw, had not been invited.

The charges have been widely condemned, but a guilty verdict would mean she would be in jail during the run-up to elections planned next year.

A BBC correspondent in Burma - who is remaining anonymous for his safety - says amid the fear and paranoia generated by the ruling military junta, there are few visible signs of support for Ms Suu Kyi in the country.
