Deposed Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday thanked her supporters for defying the junta to celebrate her 76th birthday with flower protests, as her trial on a raft of criminal charges resumed.

A mass uprising in Myanmar against a February military putsch has been met with a brutal crackdown that has killed more than 870 civilians, according to a local monitoring group.

Many replicated the floral hairstyle and uploaded pictures onto social media, from a former beauty queen to rebel soldiers. Journalists were barred from the proceedings in the special court in the capital Naypyidaw and an AFP reporter said there was a heavy police presence outside.
