Myanmar’s junta has accused the ousted leader of violating the state secrets law.

Aung San Suu Kyi has reported a new indictment in the wake of growing international outrage over the coup in Myanmar on February 1 and the crackdown on protesters by the army. At least 535 people were killed in the junta’s crackdown on post-coup protests.

Internet service providers have been told to turn off wireless Internet access across the country, telecommunications company Ooredoo said on Thursday. This is the last step for the board to block the information channels.

The UK has sanctioned the Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC) in Myanmar. Washington had taken similar action a week earlier against this military-controlled conglomerate.

Major countries are pressuring the Myanmar military to target their broad business interests, including the jade and ruby ​​trade. Much of this lucrative and largely unregulated trade is controlled by military-owned companies.

Previously, Aung San Suu Kyi attended a court hearing in the capital Neipide. The ousted civilian leader has been charged with a number of charges that could lead to her being barred from holding political office.

The audience was devoted to administrative matters. Among other things, eight lawyers were formally appointed.

“Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is in good physical condition, according to the lawyer who saw her on the screen. She was, as always, smart and charming,” lawyer Khin Maung Zaw told reporters.

He later told the AFP news agency that the Nobel Peace Prize winner had been charged on March 25 with violating the State Secrets Law.

At that time, member states issued a statement at the United Nations condemning the internet lockdown in Myanmar and attacks on freedom of expression.

The communiqué, signed by dozens of states, expresses “deep concern” about the situation of journalists and media workers in the event of a military seizure of power.
