Myanmar: Aung San Suu Kyi charged with violating secrets law
Myanmar's ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been charged with breaking a colonial-era official secrets law, the most serious charge filed against her so far. Her lawyer told Reuters he learned of the new charge - which carries a term of up to 14 years - just two days ago. The new charge comes a day after Ms Suu Kyi appeared by video link in court in connection with earlier charges. She was arrested on 1 February when the military grabbed power in a coup.
