Aung Suu Kyi’ trial

The court rejected an appeal by lawyers of Aung San Suu Kyi to reinstate two key witnesses in the trial.

So, there will be a great disparity between the almost 20 witnesses against the democratic leader (all of them are police officers) and two on her side.

The trial is supposed to start again on the 3th of July. If Aung San Suu Kyi will be judged guilty, she will face a sentence of three or five years. In that case, she won’t be able to take part to the next elections in 2010.
