Suu Kyi trial begins in Myanmar

Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's detained opposition leader, has gone on trial on charges that could see her jailed for up to five years.The trial which began on Monday is being held behind closed doors in the notorious Insein prison, on the outskirts of the former capital, Yangon.The opposition leader and two female aides are accused of breaking the conditions of her six-year house arrest, after an American man apparently made an uninvited visit to her home earlier this month.If convicted, she faces up to five years in prison. Her current period of house arrest is due to expire on May 27.Earlier police cordoned off the prison behind barricades of barbed wire, following a call from opposition supporters for protesters to gather outside.
