YANGON: Myanmar’s deposed civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi completed a third month under military-ordered house arrest Saturday — a period marked by scatter-gun criminal charges and apparent isolation from the chaos engulfing the country.

Charged on six counts including sedition and under Myanmar’s official secrets law, Suu Kyi has been denied private meetings with her lawyers. “I think she is not getting access to watch news and TV. I do not think she knows the current situation,” Min Min Soe said.Suu Kyi spent more than 15 years under house arrest during previous military rule before her 2010 release and rise to power in elections held five years later.

“Even if people did not agree with the politics of the National League for Democracy, the way they viewed Aung San Suu Kyi as someone who has led the opposition, someone who has spoken up for democracy in the past, and also, as the child of the country’s independence hero, I think those things count for something.”

Since Suu Kyi’s arrest 12 weeks ago, the military have deployed lethal force on the streets to try to crush demonstrations and arrested more than 4,500 people.
