Newshour

Available for over a year

The detained and deposed civilian leader in Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi, is now accused not just of owning unlicensed walkie-talkies, but also of violating Covid-19 restrictions. Newshour's Tim Franks spoke to her lawyer, the veteran human rights activist Khin Maung Zaw, about the case and how the protests are shaping the narrative around the coup.
