(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home2/yeswecan/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Ousted Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi returned to a junta court on Friday after skipping a previous hearing because she felt unwell, a source with knowledge of the case said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Suu Kyi has been detained since her civilian government was ousted in a coup last year that triggered mass protests and a bloody military crackdown, with more than 1,500 civilians killed, according to a local monitoring group.<\/p>\n
Cut off from the world except for brief meetings with her legal team and court appearances, the Nobel laureate faces a raft of charges that could see her jailed for more than 150 years.<\/p>\n
She skipped Thursday’s hearing in her trial on charges of breaching the official secrets act because she felt “dizzy”, a source with knowledge of the case said.<\/p>\n
Detained Australian academic Sean Turnell is a co-defendant alongside Suu Kyi in that case.<\/p>\n
Suu Kyi returned on Friday for the latest hearing in one of her corruption trials, related to the leasing of a helicopter, the source said.<\/p>\n
“Now she is well,” the source added.<\/p>\n
The 76-year-old Suu Kyi missed a hearing in September due to illness, and in October her lawyer said her health had suffered from her frequent appearances before the junta-run court.<\/p>\n
Journalists are barred from the proceedings in the military-built capital Naypyidaw and her lawyers have been barred from speaking to the press.<\/p>\n
On Thursday the junta announced it had filed an eleventh corruption charge against Suu Kyi for allegedly receiving $550,000 as a donation for a charity foundation named after her mother.<\/p>\n
She has already been sentenced to six years in jail for incitement against the military, breaching Covid-19 rules and breaking a telecommunications law — although she will remain under house arrest while she fights other charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
