Myanmar’s ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi struck a defiant note on Monday as she made her first court appearance since a February 1 coup plunged the Southeast Asian nation into crisis.
“Her message to the people is the National League for Democracy party will exist as long as people exist. The NLD party is for the people,” Min Min Soe, her lawyer, told the Telegraph.

“She also said that she wishes people to remain in good health,” added the lawyer.
