11:01 am
compound despite warnings the controversial access is undermining the franchise fire and a constitutional crisis in some over the winter of last month, selection is one in outside the parliament of being locked out by the outgoing leadership. ah, i mean, i suppose liter anson suit. she has appeared in court for the 1st time since the military coup in february, speaking through her lawyer, she set a national league for democracy. party would continue to exist as long as people exist. her lawyers met them for about 30 minutes and said she appeared healthy. suji faced the charges of incitement to sedition, violating state secrets and other offences. the form of de facto leader has been under house arrest since the military took over protests the continuing as they
11:02 am
have without a break. since the cou, a sushi awaited her court hearing around a 100 people marched in the biggest city and gone, figure demonstrations have mostly been replaced by smaller proteins with people dispersing quickly to avoid a confrontation with the security forces. rights groups say police and soldiers have killed more than 800 people since the protests began. florence louis is following that story from cologne per for us. so far as just walk us through what took place in court today. will the person be hearing on monday was a procedural hearing, but this is the very 1st time that all fancy g has appeared in court in person. now her previous court hearing she had been virtually present, she appeared via video conferencing from her home where she is placed under house arrest. so her parents in court today is, is significant for that reason. now she faces several charges including the more serious one violating state sequence law to the rather more ludicrous one of being
11:03 am
in possession of illegal walkie talkies. her lawyers were able to meet with her for about 30 minutes. they say she was in good health. i think from her 1st public remarks that we've heard that what she said about her party, the national lead for democracy or, and l g. but it will continue to exist for as long as people exist. i think this might have been in response to reports, but the new genta appointed election commission chief, had said on friday that the analogy with the dissolved now this was the party that 182 percent of elected seats. this was also a party that way back in 1919 had defeated the june in an election as well. so all santucci as we, as we, i think the remarks give us an indication of a state of mind. she is on bow then she remains defiant. she's possibly drawing her strength from the fact that there's continued protests, there's continued resistance to military rulers and vice versa. i think her
11:04 am
supporters will be comforted and will gain some confidence from her was an indication that she remains defiant to military rulers who have kept on house arrest since the 1st of february. as far as the process on the streets that concerns lawrence. is there a sense that however, that uncertain sushi is now beginning a process where she's heading back to being what she was before, which is, you know, a leader in waiting constantly under house arrest was the country is run by a military dictatorship. yes, there's very much really hands back to the time when the young man was under military dictatorship. i mean, it was under the tree dictatorship for 50 years before the military decided to hand over power to semi civilian government and experiment with democracy now. and we're seeing now how the military is responding to protesters. and in a way, we're seeing how the military really is digging its heels in. but seeing how
11:05 am
protesters have really adapted that tactics to deal with the military. they 1st had confrontations with the military when the military would hit back at protest is on the streets non these have more into it. as you mentioned, flash more protests where people would just march very quickly and then disappear back into the crowds to avoid confrontation. but then also having a prolonged civil disobedience movement, which is paralyzed much of the country where you've got the civil service on strike . teachers have now this has been suspended for taking part in the strike. and then you've also got full on arm conflict in several parts. of the country, not just in areas which are dominated by ethnic groups, but also in places which have in the past been relatively peaceful. we're seeing a lot more clashes in those areas. and we're seeing the military respond with increasingly heavy handed tactics, including as strikes, which of course will increase the risk of collateral damage and destruction of
11:06 am
property. and we're not seeing any indication from the military that it's going to engage in any sort of compromise with protesters with the national unity government . that's the shadow government formed by opponents of the cool or giving any indication that it's going to stop its violence. and it's quite down on activists and protesters. so really i think we're in for a protracted and protracted conflict in non law. lawrence, thanks very much. florence louis their 1st live in column you need is a coating for sanctions against bella. luce, after what they call in the hijacking of a commercial airliner, bella roost has been accused of faking a bomb threat to force a passenger plane to land. in order to season opposition journalists, roman protests of which are above manly as more. a flight between 2 european capital forced the land and another the among the passengers. this man reman protests of which co founder of next him an opposition
