Suu Kyi’s lawyer rejects graft claims


AUNG San Suu Kyi’s lawyer has rejected junta allegations of corruption against Myanmar’s deposed civilian leader as “groundless”, calling it “illegal mudslinging” by the generals who seized power from her.

The country has been in an uproar since a Feb 1 putsch that saw Suu Kyi ousted, detained and accused of several criminal charges, including owning unlicensed walkie-talkies and violating coronavirus restrictions.
