Suu Kyi trial adjourned

The trial of Burma’s pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi was adjourned today for two weeks so that defence lawyers can call an additional witness to give evidence.

The District Court in Rangoon trying Ms Suu Kyi, 63, informed lawyers of the postponement until June 26 during a brief hearing at Insein Prison, where the trial is taking place, said a government official close to the court.
