Suu Kyi's trial resumes in Myanmar
Riot police deployed outside Myanmar's main prison Friday as the trial of democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi resumed, a week after the ruling generals blocked efforts by the UN chief to save her from a possible five-year prison term.
The 64-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate is charged with violating the terms of her house arrest by harbouring an American man who swam secretly to her lakeside home and stayed for two days.
Khin Moe Moe, a lawyer and a member of Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party, was scheduled to appear as a defence witness during Friday's session.
