アウンサンスーチー女史の裁判６日目を迎える
アウンサンスーチー女史の裁判は25日、６日目を迎えた。
スーチー女史の弁護側は、政府側の証人として証言した５人の尋問を請求し、うち４人に尋問を行なった。スーチー女史側の弁護団のひとりニャンウィン氏によると、スーチー女史に対する当局の人権制限と移動制限が、1974年のビルマ連邦社会主義共和国憲法を基礎にしているが、1974年憲法はすでに無効となっていることを主張しようとしたという。政府側は、請求していた10人の証人のうち警察１人のみに尋問を行ない、残りの９人の尋問を放棄した。
スーチー女史の裁判は26日朝に再開される。スーチー女史が発言する予定だ。スーチー女史側の弁護団は、国民民主連盟（ＮＬＤ）の中央執行委員ウィンティン氏、スーチー女史と同様にディペーイン事件以来現在まで軟禁中のＮＬＤ副議長ティンウー氏らを証人として要求するつもりだという。外交団や記者の傍聴が再び認められる見込み。
スーチー女史の弁護団は、裁判はあと３、４日で終了すると予想している。
今回のスーチー女史の起訴状では、政府側はスーチー女史に対し国家防御法第22条を適用しようとしている。現在入手できる国家防御法の英訳は、以下の通り。
