Lawyers still hope Suu Kyi will be freed

Lawyers for Myanmar democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi said Sunday they still hoped she would be "freed unconditionally", despite widespread fears of a guilty verdict in her prolonged prison trial.

A verdict had been expected on Friday but judges postponed their pronouncement until August 11, saying they needed time to review the case. "We hope that she will be freed unconditionally," said Nyan Win, one of Suu Kyi's lawyers and a spokesman for her National League for Democracy (NLD). - AFP
