Aung San Suu Kyi not in court due to ill-health

Deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi was unable to appear at a court hearing for health reasons, a member of her legal team has said, describing her condition as dizziness caused by motion sickness. Aung San Suu Kyi, 76, who has been detained on various charges since her overthrow in a military coup on 1 February, did not have coronavirus but felt ill having not travelled in a vehicle for a long time, Min Min Soe, a lawyer, said. She is on trial in the capital, Naypyidaw. She also faces charges over unspecified breaches of the Official Secrets Act, which is punishable by up to 14 years in jail.
