Yangon, Feb 17 (EFE/EPA).- Deposed Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi is facing trial over several charges without a defense team, her lawyer said Wednesday, in a process classified as "secret" after being arrested following a coup d'etat earlier this month."I am not allowed to enter the court because I have not been recognized as Ms. Suu's lawyer. She still does not have a legal defense," Khin Maung Zaw told EFE.Mass protests were taking place Wednesday across Myanmar, a day after elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi was slapped with another charge amid fears of a crackdown by security forces.While overnight internet blackouts and a military presence in Yangon reduced protester numbers earlier this week, activists involved in the 1998 uprising urged youth, especially, to take part in mass demonstrations on Wednesday against the Feb. 1 military coup and the detention of elected leaders.
