YANGON (AFP) – Ousted Myanmar civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi was hit with two new criminal charges when she appeared in court through a video link yesterday, a month after a military coup triggered relentless and massive protests.
Suu Kyi Hit With 2 New Criminal Raps
Suu Kyi has not been seen since being detained on Feb. 1, and her appearance came as demonstrators took to the streets again across the country in defiance of an escalation of deadly force from the junta.

At least 18 people died last Sunday as troops and police fired live bullets at demonstrators in cities across Myanmar, according to the United Nations, which cited its own credible information.

Suu Kyi, 75, was already facing obscure criminal charges for possessing unlicensed walkie-talkies as well as violating COVID-19 restrictions by staging a campaign event during last year’s election.

She is now also accused of a violation of communications laws as well as intent to incite public unrest, her lawyer Khin Maung Zaw said.
