Detained pro-democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, said she is happy that recently-freed deputy leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD), U Tin Oo, has resumed party duties and talked about his political convictions to the media.Suu Kyi made the remark on Wednesday during a meeting with two of her lawyers to discuss party issues and the legal case over her house repairs, which have been halted due to legal objections.

“Daw Suu said she is pleased to hear U Tin Oo regularly comes to the NLD office to supervise party activities and talk to the media,” said her lawyer, Nyan Win. “She wants me to send that message to U Tin Oo.”

In a two-hour meeting at her house, Suu Kyi also said she wants to meet both Tin Oo and all the Central Executive Committee (CEC) members of the NLD.

After his release from nearly seven years of prison and house arrest on Feb.13, Tin Oo, 82, told reporters he was “very hopeful” that Suu Kyi would also be released soon, noting that in 1995 he was released from prison shortly before Suu Kyi herself was set free.

Suu Kyi and her lawyers also discussed how to pursue the legal case over the objections to her house repairs. One of Suu Kyi’s distant relatives advertised in the state-run newspapers in 2009 that he is entitled to part of the land where Suu Kyi’s house stands because Suu Kyi’s late mother allegedly gave it to him before she died.

In January 2010, Suu Kyi’s brother, Aung San Oo, who lives in the United States, also sent an objection letter over her house repairs.

“We discussed a response letter to be submitted to the Rangoon municipality with Daw Suu, and we will send the letter tomorrow,” Nyan Win said.

Suu Kyi started repairing her dilapidated house in December 2009 but was forced to halt the work following the legal objections.

Suu Kyi is serving her latest 18-month term of house arrest, which is due to expire in November.

Meanwhile, the NLD remains undecided over whether to participate in the election. Last week, her party officials told the visiting UN Envoy Tomás Ojea Quintana that the decision will be made only after they have met with Suu Kyi.

Receiving no response from the military for his request to meet with Suu Kyi, Quintana expressed “deep regret” that he was not given the opportunity to meet with Suu Kyi during his five-day visit to Burma.
