The European Union and Australia yesterday criticised Burma for its refusal to allow diplomats to visit Aung San Suu Kyi, who remained in her car for a sixth day in a stand-off with police.
The opposition leader's doctors warned she was showing signs of dehydration and asked that the military provide her with washing facilities.
Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said he was disappointed by Burma's stance.
Austrian Foreign Minister and president of the Council of the European Union Wolfgang Schussel said the response was unsatisfactory.
The fact that the blockade of Ms Aung San Suu Kyi had gone on for so long was 'unbearable and unacceptable'.
They were commenting at the end of the ASEAN meeting in Manila.
It was the third day on which delegates had singled out Burma for attack, forcing its Foreign Minister, U Ohn Gyaw, to defend the policies of the ruling junta.
