Myanmar’s detained former leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, appeared for a court hearing Monday, a month after being ousted in a coup. Her supporters again staged protests calling for her release, despite a deadly crackdown by police.
After 18 people were reportedly killed and another 30 wounded by police in anti-junta demonstrations on Sunday in the bloodiest day since the Feb. 1 military takeover, supporters of Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy, or NLD, party showed up on the streets once again to oppose the country’s sudden relapse into authoritarianism.
