Suu Kyi trial nears end in MyanmarPosted: 10:08 AM ET
(CNN) - The trial in Myanmar of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi drew closer to an end Friday with testimony from the last witness and the scheduling of closing arguments. After completing a seven-hour examination of Suu Kyi's final defense witness, the court announced that closing arguments will be heard July 24. Nyan Win, Suu Kyi's lawyer, said the legal team has finished drafting arguments, which totaled 18 pages. Suu Kyi reviewed them and added four more pages, he said. The verdict will come sometime after July 24, Nyan Win said, because by law the court cannot announce the verdict on the same day as closing arguments. |
