Yangon, Dec 10 (EFE/EPA).- Thousands of people took to the streets on Tuesday in several cities of Myanmar to express their support for the country's de facto leader, State Councellor Aung San Suu Kyi, who now is defending Myanmar against genocide charges brought by The Gambia at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague.In the center of Myanmar's biggest city Yangon, some six thousand people gathered in front of the town hall, where two giant screens had been installed to show the live broadcast of the hearing at the ICJ.Nobel Peace Prize laureate Suu Kyi headed a delegation traveling to The Hague to deny charges of genocide against the Burmese army over its brutal offensive against the Rohingya and her appearance in person at the court has sparked widespread controversy.Over 738,000 members of the Rohingya community fled from Rakhine state in western Myanmar to Bangladesh after the last large-scale military campaign launched in August 2017.
