YANGON, Myanmar — A court ruled Tuesday that pro- democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi will be allowed to have one more defense witness at a trial that has sparked global outrage.
But Suu Kyi’s lawyers immediately said they planned to appeal the decision as the Yangon Divisional Court still barred two senior members of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate’s political party from giving testimony.
Suu Kyi, who has spent 13 of the past 19 years under house arrest, is on trial on charges of breaking the terms of her detention after an uninvited American man, John Yettaw, swam secretly to her closely guarded lakeside home last month and stayed two days. Suu Kyi faces five years in prison if found guilty.
