Myanmar court postpones verdict against Aung San Suu Kyi

A Myanmar court has postponed verdicts in two cases against the ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi till January 10, reports Reuters.

The court was expected to give verdict on two cases relating to unlawful procurement of walkie-talkies on Monday. No reason was given for the postponement of the verdict. This is the second postponement of the verdict after December 20 when it was scheduled for announcement.

She has been serving the imprisonment under house arrest at an undisclosed location where she has been put after being deposed in February when the military government took over.
