BANGKOK — Burma is overdue to release a report on a controversial
copper mine backed by the military and China but facing strong opposition.
Rights activists say the investigation into the mine is a test of the new government
and of democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who was appointed head
of the commission looking into the copper deal.
