Suu Kyi confronted with sedition charge on 2nd day of trial

Rights groups have said there is little chance that Ms. Suu Kyi will receive a fair trial.

The trial of Myanmar's deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi entered its second day Tuesday, with the prosecution presenting arguments that she incited public disorder and flouted coronavirus restrictions, part of a package of charges the ruling junta is seen as using to discredit her and consolidate its control. Ms. Suu Kyi and other members of her government and party were arrested by the military after , with criminal charges brought against some of the top figures on litany of charges that both their supporters and independent observers say are bogus. The coup reversed years of democratic reforms after decades of military rule and sparked widespread protests and international condemnation.
