Aung San Suu Kyi, ousted Myanmar leader trial has begun after a military coup removed the elected government from office.
Charged with owning unlicensed walkie-talkies as well as violating coronavirus restrictions her trial will also be on allegations of corruption and breaking the official secrets act.
The trial has been condemned by Human rights groups describing it as an attempt to stop her running in future elections.
The 75 year old Suu Kyi, who has been held under house arrest since the 1 February coup in Myanmar little has been seen or heard of her apart from her brief court appearances.
Her lawyers, who have met her only twice since she was detained, will cross-examine witnesses over the claims and another trial will begin on 15 June over sedition charges.
She faces up to 14 years in prison if found guilty
