	Free Suu Kyi now, UN urges new Burma PM - World - www.smh.com.au
		Soe Win, thought to be about 56, is believed to espouse a hard line in dealing with the pro-democracy movement led by Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and with Western countries that have imposed years of sanctions to pressure the military to hand power to an elected government and to free Suu Kyi.
		But the plan was met with disdain by democracy activists, in large part because there was no provision for the release of Suu Kyi, who was put back under house arrest after a bloody attack on her and her followers by government supporters in May last year.
		Some diplomats and opposition figures believe Soe Win helped organise the attack, which the junta insisted was spontaneous.
