YANGON (AFP) — Myanmar’s junta chief would be willing to meet opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi if she meets major preconditions including ending her support for sanctions on the regime, state media said Thursday.

The announcement came as the junta announced that more than 2,000 people were arrested during its deadly crackdown on anti-government protests during the last week, acknowledging that some of the detainees were simply bystanders.

Myanmar’s Senior General Than Shwe made the offer to meet with the detained Nobel Peace Prize winner during his talks Tuesday with UN special envoy Ibrahim Gambari, state television reported.

    Dear Bo Than Shwe,
    Do not try to use your propaganda techniques on the International leaders. They are not naïve as you hope. We all know that you are just trying to avoid or dodge Burmese people’s anger for killing, assaulting and jailing the revered monks and International sanctions.

    NLD had already offered you and your SPDC to transform into a legitimate Interim Government. What do you want more?

    We all know that you are the one who had given the shoot to kill order.

    Killing of the Japanese photographer alone could pull you to the court.

    Enough is enough! See you in court.
