Suu Kyi has been under house arrest since the military coup in early February. In mid-September, for the first time, she was unable to appear in person in court in the capital, Naypyidaw, due to illness. According to her lawyer, she recently asked the judge to appear in court only every two weeks instead of every week as before, because her health was in poor health. What exactly is missing is not known.
The 75-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate had been accused of a number of offenses since the military coup, including corruption , possession of radios without required authorization, violating corona regulations and inciting public unrest. Long prison terms are threatened. Observers and human rights experts speak of a show trial and suspect that the junta wants to silence the popular politician in this way in the long term.
