Newsday

Available for over a year

The party that won last November's election in Myanmar - the National League for Democracy - has called for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and other leading politicians detained by the military on Monday. Russian Opposition Leader Alexei Navalgny is about to appear in court and could face up the three years in the jail. Vietnam appoints its longest serving leader in decades, he's 76 and a communist naturally but he's not a strongman.
