Burma’s Suu Kyi Asks Court to Let Her Meet Lawyers, Activists Urge New Year Defiance
Burma’s (also known as Myanmar) detained government leader Aung San Suu Kyi asked a court on Monday to be allowed to meet her lawyers in person when she appeared at a hearing via video link to face charges brought by the military junta that could see her jailed for years.
As Suu Kyi appeared, her supporters called for people to show their opposition to the Feb. 1 coup during this week’s traditional new year holiday in the largely Buddhist country.
Suu Kyi, 75, who has led Burma’s struggle against military rule for decades and who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, has been detained since the coup and charged with various offenses. These include violating a colonial-era official secrets act that could see her jailed for 14 years.
