Yangon - A four-member European Union delegation yesterday visited Burma's pro-democracy opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been held under house arrest.

The EU representatives on a three-day visit have been the only foreign diplomats besides the UN special envoy, Mr Razali Ismail, to have met her since September.

Aung Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy won elections in 1990 by a landslide but has never been allowed to govern. But in signs of a thaw, last week more than 80 NLD prisoners were released from jail.
