Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi is to face trial for breaching the conditions of her detention under house arrest, her lawyer has said.
She was taken to a prison from her home in Rangoon, where she has spent most of the past 19 years, to hear the charges.
Her lawyer also said that a US man, whose apparently uninvited visit to her home led to the charges, will be tried on immigration and security offences.
