U.S.-funded RFA reported that Suu Kyi was allowed to miss the hearings at the request of her doctor because she was suffering from dizziness and nausea. She has been already been sentenced to a total of six years in detention for other cases, in legal proceedings derided by her supporters, some Western governments, and human rights groups as a sham.A new bribery charge was also announced against Suu Kyi on Thursday, accusing of her of receiving a $550,000 donation from a businessman, the state broadcaster reported.

Suu Kyi has previously denied all the charges. Her lawyers have been barred from speaking about her cases.
