Myanmar’s ousted civilian leader State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi appeared in person in a Naypyitaw court on Monday for the first time since the military coup. Through her lawyer, she said her party the National League for Democracy (NLD) will be there as long as the people are because the party was founded for the people.
