Former Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi, overthrown in a coup on February 1, was indicted a second time on Tuesday February 16, AFP learned from her lawyer.

Already prosecuted for having illegally imported walkie-talkies, she faces a new indictment for "having violated the law on the management of natural disasters," said Khin Maung Zaw.

The 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner, held in secret since her arrest, is "in good health" and under house arrest in the administrative capital Naypyidaw, according to her party.
