Myanmar’s democratically elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi has appeared in court for the first time to face charges ranging from illegally possessing walkie-talkies to violating state secrets laws which could result in up to 14 years in prison.
This is the first time Suu Kyi has been seen since she was arrested on February 1st during a military coup which overthrew her National League for Democracy party.
She remained defiant throughout the hearing and said her party would exist as long as people continue to support it.
