Myanmar’s ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi suffered a legal setback when a judge denied her lawyers’ motion to disqualify prosecution evidence against her on a sedition charge, her defence team said.

The court, however, said it would allow the issue to be referred to the High Court and would suspend evidence until a ruling is issued.
