SUU KYI TRIAL

Myanmar court defers first verdicts

A court in military-ruled Myanmar yesterday deferred the first verdicts in the trial of ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi to Dec. 6, a source familiar with the proceedings said.

The Nobel Peace laureate has been held incommunicado and on trial since June, with court hearings behind closed doors. Yesterday, the court had been due to rule on charges of incitement and violations of Covid-19 protocols under a natural disasters law, among nearly a dozen cases against Suu Kyi, 76.
