Senator Webb met the Burma's dictator Than ShweThan Shwe and secured his release while Aung Sann Suu Kyi is still under house arrest and she will not be released until the so called election to be held in May next year.

The US citizen John Yettaw had lived two days in Suu Kyi's home in Rangoon. The motive of his entry into her home is not clear. However, he has said that he had dreamt that she was going to be killed so he wanted to warn her about this.

But the junta, who are the other sides of the coin , refused to handover power to Suu Kyi and suppressed people killing thousands of democrats and innocents monks.
