MYANMAR COURT REJECTS TWO DEFENSE WITNESSES
|
|
Guilty verdict over Suu Kyi’s case looms
|
|
YANGON: Myanmar’s Supreme Court Monday rejected an
appeal to reinstate two defense witnesses at the internationally
condemned trial of democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, an official
said. The Nobel laureate faces up to five years in jail on charges
of violating the terms of her house arrest after an American man
swam uninvited to her lakeside home and has been held at a notorious
jail in Yangon since May.
The Supreme Court upheld a
decision by the trial court at Insein prison last month to bar two
out of four defense witnesses, both senior members of her National
League for Democracy (NLD).
