Sept 13 (Reuters) - Deposed Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi was unable to appear at a court hearing on Monday for health reasons, a member of her legal team said, describing her condition as dizziness caused by motion sickness.
Suu Kyi, 76, who has been detained on various charges since her overthrow in a Feb. 1 military coup, did not have the coronavirus but felt ill having not traveled in a vehicle for a long time, lawyer Min Min Soe said.
The popular Nobel Peace Prize winner has spent about half of the past three decades in various forms of detention over her non-violent struggle against dictatorship and her health is closely watched.
"It is not serious sickness ... She suffered car sickness. She cannot stand that feeling and told us she wanted to take a rest," Min Min Soe told Reuters.
She has been accused of accepting big bribes, and has been charged with unspecified breaches of the Official Secrets Act in a separate and more serious case, which is punishable by up to 14 years in jail.
let the average joe skip a court appearance because he feels car sick.... then see how well that goes for poor old joe....
Unless you are poor ol' sleepy joe, then you just have one of your body doubles fill in for you.
Adrenochrome withdrawal?
Hit with DEW right before court time?
Tell her the dizziness goes away after the rope becomes taught.
Gotta love how reuters carries water for the soros lackey.
deep state cutting loose ends?
Must be the clot shot
Unfortunately she won’t be imprisoned, especially in a system that these corrupt individuals control
Their military is in control. They've circumvented the system.
I say she does. New times in Myanmar.
