Myanmar court denies Suu Kyi appeal - Asia-Pacific - Al Jazeera English: "A Myanmar court has rejected an appeal by the country's detained opposition leader against her house arrest, amid hopes she will be released.
It was the third and final appeal by Aung San Suu Kyi, 65, who has spent most of the last 20 years locked up in her home in Yangon.
Never the less, officials said on Wednesday that preparations for Aung San Suu Kyi's anticipated release - within days of Sunday's general elections - were under way.
Lawyers for the Nobel peace laureate said they expected her to be freed on Saturday, when the latest detention order expires, but had hoped she would also be acquitted to prove her innocence."
