NAY PYI TAW, 13 April, 2021 (TON): At a court hearing held virtually, the Myanmar’s former de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi who was ousted and detained following the February 1 coup has again demanded a face-to-face meeting with her lawyers.

On Monday, the media reported that so far, the judiciary has refused.

President Win Myint, who was also taken into custody in the wake of the military takeover, had made the same demand, according to Min Min Soe, a lawyer on Suu Kyi’s defense team.
“We were able to see them both at the trial via video link, and they looked healthy,” the lawyer said.
Another charge of violating Covid-19 restrictions has also been brought against the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Min Min Soe said, but exact details remained unclear.

Suu Kyi faces already one case in connection with these regulations.

The judiciary accuses the 75-year-old of several offences, including violations of foreign trade laws in connection with radio equipment found in her house.

However, it remains unclear that exactly where Suu Kyi and Win Myint are being held.
