a detention ended today monday that's no changed and that's going to be a blow for her followers isn't it. it is we were expecting to hear at least you know we initially thought that she would be released today 2 weeks to the day since the coup was staged and then or at least you know even if it wasn't necessarily her being released outright maybe some type of hearing or some type of announcement about her charges that are levied against her and those charges of illegally importing 2 way radios is the official military giunta charge against on song suchi but we're hearing now from her attorney who said that there was a conversation with the judge in april or the capital that now it won't be until wednesday so wednesday the 17th so we don't really know if that means that she will be released on bail and then these charges are still there or they're going to be different charges put on top of that we're not sure just yet but bottom line is we thought there be some type of movement with her the case against her or why they're

keeping her in detention today on monday but now we're hearing that's not going to happen until wednesday and it seems that the military is getting tougher but the protesters are also digging in and getting more determined and whilst all of this is happening of course the world is watching what is going on a 1000000 more. absolutely robyn this is something that's very interesting about how the civil disobedience movement has been panning out over the last 10 days and that is they are very focused on making sure that as many outside eyeballs are watching what's happening outside myanmar eyeballs are what's happening in their country and they're making sure they do that in various ways staging a lot of their protests in front of the embassies in yemen don the country's largest city making sure that they're out there they're very colorful costumes in things for these these protests and these marches make sure they say the
