Burmese pro-democarcy activist Aung San Suu Kyi says she is being held under a security law, similar to Malaysia's Internal Security Act (ISA), which allows for indefinite detention without trial.

UN special envoy Razali Ismail said she told him this during his meeting with her last Tuesday just before he concluded his five-day mission to Rangoon.

He said Suu Kyi had expected to see him although she had not been informed of the identity of her visitor.

"When I went in, she said, 'I knew it was going to be you, Raz. I had the feeling that it was going to be you'I asked if she was hurt, she said 'No'. I asked if she was interrogated, she said 'No'," Razali told malaysiakini in an interview, the first part of which was posted yesterday.

"She told me that they are keeping her under Section 10a (of the 1975 State Protection Act). She asked me what the charge against her was...that she did nothing wrong and it was the (government-sponsored groups) who attacked her.
