A Myanmar court has filed fresh charges against ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi

A Myanmar court has filed fresh charges against ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi, , according to a report on the Mizzima News website.

The former dissident was charged with disturbing the peace and public order during her second court hearing via video conference.

She had previously been charged with breaches of the country’s emergency management law, in connection with the government’s response to the Coronavirus pandemic, and with a violation of import and export laws for possession of walkie talkies.

Observers believe the main goal of the charges is to keep Suu Kyi off the political stage.
