Suu Kyi, 76, faces almost a dozen charges including incitement, violation of Covid-19 protocols and violation of the Official Secrets Act, which add up to combined maximum sentences of more than 100 years. She has rejected all allegations.
Suu Kyi was Myanmar’s state counselor and de facto leader until the military seized power in a February 1 coup and imposed their leadership on the Southeast Asian country.
This is a developing story, more to come.
