China ignores Suu Kyi trial crisis
On the second day of the closed trial, five prosecution witnesses testified against Suu Kyi, who is accused of violating her house arrest after an American intruder swam to her lakeside home two weeks ago.
The charges, denied by the Nobel Peace laureate, have drawn international condemnation and calls for Asian governments to get tough with Myanmar’s ruling generals.
Setting aside its usual line of non-interference, the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) said the “honour and credibility” of its troublesome member was at stake.
It urged “humane treatment” for Suu Kyi.
