A judge on Monday ordered Aung San Suu Kyi to appear in person in court for the first time on May 24, her lawyer Khin Maung Zaw told AFP. “She will appear in person in court on May 24,” the lawyer said.
In the capital Naypyidaw, multiple court hearings have seen Suu Kyi, who attended via video conferencing from under house arrest, express frustration at the pace of the proceedings.
During the latest hearing, a judge ordered for her cases to be heard with her presence in a special courtroom near her residence. Suu Kyi was subsequently hit with a series of charges, after the military coup.
The deposed leader of Myanmar has not been publicly seen since she was detained in a February 1 coup. Her legal team has faced an uphill battle to get a private audience with her.
