U.S. Man in Suu Kyi Trial Hospitalized

Hospital sources say an American on trial for secretly entering the house of democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been hospitalized after suffering seizures.

The sources say 53-year-old John Yettaw was admitted to Yangon's main general hospital Monday and that his condition was improving. The sources were speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals in the military-run nation.

Yettaw faces up to five years in prison for helping violate the terms of Suu Kyi's house arrest by swimming to her lakeside residence and staying for two nights in May. A court is to deliver a verdict next week.

Court officials have wrapped up Suu Kyi's trial, but postponed the expected announcement of a verdict until August 11.
