YANGON, Myanmar, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- The director of an AIDS clinic in Myanmar says the military government has been leaning on him ever since a visit by dissident leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Yazar, who uses only one name, told CNN Sunday that shortly after Suu Kyi's visit on Wednesday, the government told him to move out by Nov. 25.
"We have received this kind of threat before, but this time the warning is rude, much stronger and seems to be very serious," Yazar said.
Suu Kyi, who received the Nobel Peace Prize for her pro-democracy activism, was freed from a long-running house arrest earlier this month. She made Yazar's clinic one of her first public appearances.
Yazar said Suu Kyi chose the clinic in the suburbs of Yangon because she wanted to meet people who were in the direst need of help.
CNN said the government claimed it was shutting the clinic down due to complaints from neighbors.
