Myanmar court accepts appeal of Suu Kyi

---

YANGON, OCT 21 (AP): Myanmar's highest court has agreed to hear a final appeal to release opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest, her lawyer said Thursday, pressing forward with the case despite her scheduled release in less than a month.
"We believe that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will be released on Nov. 13, but we are pursuing this legal battle to prove her innocence," lawyer Nyan Win told reporters.
He said the High Court posted an announcement Wednesday night that it would hear the special appeal on behalf of Suu Kyi, who has spent most of the past 15 years under house arrest.
