YANGON, Nov 2 — A Myanmar junta court will this month hear closing arguments in Aung San Suu Kyi’s incitement trial, a source said today, as it begins to wrap up proceedings that could jail the Nobel laureate for decades.
Suu Kyi, 76, went on trial in June, and testified for the first time last week on charges of inciting dissent against the military. Former president Win Myin and Myo Aung — a senior leader in Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy party — are co-accused in her incitement trial, which heard its last testimony from the defence today, a source close to the matter told AFP.
