YANGON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - The party of Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi said on Friday conditions set by junta leader Than Shwe showed he was not serious about holding direct talks with her. "They are asking her to confess to offences that she has not committed," National League for Democracy (NLD) spokesman Nyan Win told Reuters after state media announced Than Shwe's offer of talks if she agreed to certain conditions. Than Shwe told visiting U.N. envoy Ibrahim Gambari this week Suu Kyi must abandon her "obstructive measures" and support for sanctions as well as positions that were "confrontational" and for "utter devastation," state television said. Suu Kyi, who has spent 12 of the last 18 years in some form of detention and is now cut off from the outside world at her lakeside home in Yangon, should be allowed to respond publicly to Than Shwe's offer, Nyan Win said. Gambari was dispatched to Myanmar to persuade the generals to end the crackdown on mass protests against their rule and to talk to Suu Kyi.
