Aung San Suu Kyi: Myanmar court defers first verdicts at trial of deposed leader

No reason for deferral given as Nobel laureate faces charges that could see her jailed for decades under military junta

A Myanmar court has deferred the first verdicts in the trial of ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi to 6 December, a source familiar with the proceedings said.

The Nobel Peace laureate, who led an elected civilian government that was ousted in a military coup on 1 February, has been held incommunicado and been on trial since June, with court hearings behind closed doors.
