PORTSMOUTH, New Hampshire (Reuters) - White House spokesman Robert Gibbs criticized Myanmar on Tuesday for the conviction of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

"This is not somebody who should have been tried, certainly not somebody who should have been convicted," Gibbs told reporters aboard Air Force One on a flight to New Hampshire with President Barack Obama.

Obama was expected to issue a written statement later about Suu Kyi, who was sentenced to 18 months of house arrest. She was convicted of violating an internal security law after an uninvited American visited her house where she was already under detention.
