Myanmar: Protesters burn ASEAN flag as Suu Kyi's trial to begin

Description

Some 100 protesters march briefly in Yangon's Tamwe township, chanting “let’s end military dictatorship” and “let’s root out the fascist army”. A flag representing the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is also burned. ASEAN has led diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis in Myanmar, but the regional bloc is not known for its diplomatic clout, and observers have questioned how effectively it can influence events in the country. Meanwhile, the trial of ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi will hear its first testimony in a junta court Monday, more than four months after February's military coup. The junta has brought a variety of charges against the Nobel laureate, from illegally accepting 11 kilograms of gold to breaking a colonial-era secrecy law. IMAGES

Mass protests continue across Myanmar as Suu Kyi being tried without lawyer in 'secret' trial

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.
