Trial of Aung San Suu Kyi to begin in Myanmar after military coup

Former leader faces raft of charges including that she improperly imported walkie-talkies and flouted coronavirus restrictions

The trial of ousted Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi will hear its first testimony in a junta court on Monday, more than four months after a military coup.

Near daily protests have rocked Myanmar since the coup removed her government in February, ending a 10-year experiment with democracy.
