1. (SBU) Aung San Suu Kyi (ASSK) lawyer and NLD spokesman
Nyan Win informed us that on June 11 the Supreme Court agreed
to hear arguments in ASSK's appeal to admit two defense
witnesses who were excluded from testifying in her trial
(reftel). The Rangoon branch of the high court has scheduled
oral arguments for June 17. Given the nature of the case,
Nyan Win did not want to speculate as to how long it will
take the Supreme Court to rule on the appeal.
2. (SBU) With the Supreme Court appeal pending, Nyan Win
said he does not expect the trial of ASSK, her two aides, and
American citizen John Yettaw to conclude until after the high
court has ruled. The next regular trial session is still
scheduled to take place June 12. Vice Consul will attend
those proceedings.
