A Myanmar court has revealed that Aung San Suu Kyi, a state counselor detained by the military in a coup d'etat, has been charged with illegally importing and using radios.
The court has set Shu Qi's detention deadline to 17 days, but the detention will continue.
In Myanmar, the military conducted a coup d'etat on the 1st of this month, detaining Mr. Shu Qi and President Win Myint one after another.
Shu Qi's lawyer and a court official in the capital Naypyidaw told reporters on the 16th that Shu Qi had been charged with illegally importing and using radios without permission.
He also revealed that he was charged with violating the provisions for measures against the new coronavirus during the campaign last year.
Win Myint was also charged with violating the same rules.
The two of them attended the online court procedure on the 16th, which means that the next one will be held on the 1st of next month.
Meanwhile, a military spokesman said at a press conference in Naypyidaw on the 16th that Shu Qi and Win Myint were "in good health."
The court had set a deadline for Mr. Shu Qi's detention until the 17th, but the prosecution will continue the detention, and the demonstrators' opposition to the military is expected to intensify.
British Prime Minister "Clear human rights violations"
British Prime Minister Johnson posted on Twitter on the 16th, accusing him of "the new prosecution against Shu Qi, made up by the military, is a clear violation of human rights."
He emphasized that Britain would stand up with the people of Myanmar and hold the coups accountable for the right people.
Foreign Minister Rab also issued a statement about Shu Qi's prosecution, harshly saying it was a political decision and the latest case of a military attack on democratically elected politicians. I blamed you.
