Suu Kyi faces new trial uncertainty
Myanmar democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi faces fresh uncertainty this week over her internationally condemned trial, with her US co-defendant's illness threatening to further delay the verdict.
A prison court is scheduled to hand down judgment on Nobel Peace laureate Suu Kyi and American John Yettaw when it meets on Tuesday for what was expected to be the final episode in the nearly three-month-long legal imbroglio.
But diplomats and officials said it could be postponed once again because Yettaw -- who sparked the case by swimming to her lakeside home in May -- remains in hospital after suffering repeated epileptic seizures.
