Burma’s junta (also known as Myanmar) has ordered all legal proceedings against the testified leader Aung San Suu Kyi from court to prison, sources familiar with her case say. ..
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Soo Chi, who turned 77 on Sunday, has been charged with at least 20 corruptions since being killed in a coup d’etat early last year.
She denied all accusations.
Some media reported that Soo Chi was also transferred from house arrest to detention at Naypyidaw prison on Wednesday.
Reuters could not independently validate these reports.
Junta leader Min Aung Hlaing has so far allowed Soo Chi to remain detained in a private location in the capital Naypyidaw, despite convictions of incitement and some minor crimes. There is.
The secret place she was detained for about a year was a dwelling with nine people who helped her arrange her life and a dog, a gift arranged by one of her sons.
Sources who refused to be identified due to their sensitivity to the trial said the hearing would be transferred to a new special court in Naypyidaw’s prison.
“The judge has declared that the new building of the court has been completed,” sources added.
The ruling military council was not immediately asked for comment.
Australian economist Sean Turnell, who was Suu Kyi’s adviser, is being detained in the same prison where Suu Kyi was sent.
Turnell and Suchi are to appear in prison court on Thursday because they have been charged in the same case under the Official Secrets Act, which imposes up to 14 years in prison.
In addition to 11 corruption cases, Soo Chi and several colleagues were charged with fraudulent elections sentenced to up to three years in prison.
Soo Chi’s marathon proceedings are held in a closed room, and only limited information is reported by the state media.
Her lawyer is subject to a gag order and access to her is only on trial day.
It’s not clear how much Soo Chi knows about the crisis in her country, which has been in turmoil since the coup, the military struggles to consolidate power, and faces rising resistance from militia groups.
