Protesters hold up the three finger salute with signs calling for the release of detained Myanmar civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi during a demonstration against the military coup in Yangon February 16, 2021. — AFP picYANGON, April 27 — Myanmar’s junta again postponed court proceedings against deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday, her lawyers said, as they fight for permission to visit her 12 weeks after she was detained.
But movement on her case was once again delayed until May 10, her lawyer Min Min Soe said Monday after a hearing. Besides not being able to meet with Suu Kyi, junta-imposed mobile data shutdowns have also prevented video-conferencing in previous hearings. The meeting produced a “consensus statement” that called for the cessation of violence, but stopped short of demanding a release of political prisoners.
Former US president Barack Obama on Monday urged Myanmar’s neighbours to “recognise that a murderous regime rejected by the people will only bring greater instability, humanitarian crisis, and the risk of a failed state”.The junta has given a much lower death toll and blames the violence on “rioters”.
