Aung San Suu Kyi on trial
YANGON, 15 June. - (ANA) - Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar’s ousted civilian leader, has gone on trial more than four months after the military seized power in a coup.
A court in the capital Naypyidaw heard the first criminal cases against the deposed leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
Suu Kyi “seemed not very well”, her lawyer told CNN, adding that “throughout the hearing she seemed quite interested and paid keen attention”.
She faces a wide range of charges, including breaching a natural disaster law by breaking coronavirus restrictions and allegations that she broke a communications law and an import law by illegally possessing walkie-talkies. - (ANA) -
