Since the verdict of Burma’s opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi was postponed last month, there has been renewed interest in what the decision will be.

Suu Kyi won a Nobel Peace Prize and has spent 14 of the past 20 years in detention. She’s been charged under Section 22 of a law protecting the state from "subversive elements."

The charges stem from a bizarre incident in May, when an American named John Yettaw swam across Inya Lake to Suu Kyi's home. He stayed for two days.

Prosecutors say this breached the terms of her house arrest. Yettaw told the court in May he had been "sent by God" to warn Suu Kyi she was going to be assassinated.

The 54-year-old, who's been on trial with Suu Kyi, has been confined at a Rangoon hospital, where he was sent after he collapsed in prison earlier this month.

Yettaw is charged with immigration offences, and under a municipal law that bans swimming in a non-swimming area.

A guilty verdict for Suu Kyi is widely expected.

Opponents of Burma's military government say the trial is an attempt to keep Suu Kyi in detention, before and during elections next year, which they say is a sham to legitimize the regime.

Security outside Insein prison, where Suu Kyi is being held, is expected to increase tomorrow, when the verdict will be reached.
