The trial of deposed Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been moved from a court to a prison court.
The former Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who was ousted by a military coup in February 2021, has been held prisoner in an undisclosed location in the capital city of Naypyidaw, and all hearings for her trial were moved to a court within the prison, according to a report from Reuters.
MYANMAR MILITARY COURT SENTENCES OUSTED LEADER TO FIVE YEARS IN PRISON
Suu Kyi’s hearings have all been held behind closed doors, with state media releasing little information. She has been sentenced to 11 years in prison thus far for various corruption charges.
Suu Kyi’s party had won a landslide election in 2020, but the military claimed the results were illegitimate and took power via a coup d’etat.
Several world leaders, including President Joe Biden, have denounced the coup and military leadership since it took power last year.
