A Myanmese monk living in Thailand prays during a rally calling for Aung San Suu Kyi's release, outside the U.N. office in Bangkok, May 22, 2009. The trial of Myanmar's pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi continues for its fifth day, with Myanmar saying on Friday that the U.S. citizen who sneaked into the detained opposition leader's home may be part of a plot by "anti-government elements" to intensify international pressure on the military regime.
