The Burmese military regime abruptly reversed a decision yesterday to allow diplomats to visit Aung San Suu Kyi, and once again ejected journalists from the democracy leader's trial.

She was not allowed to meet the diplomats individually, but at her trial she thanked them for coming and said, "I hope to meet you in better days."
