Hundreds of police in full riot gear, some armed with rifles, were deployed along all roads leading to Insein prison where the trial was taking place, while about 100 Suu Kyi supporters gathered peacefully nearby. Dozens of plainclothes policemen and more than a hundred members of a pro-junta militia were deployed near the prison.
Some members of her party who gathered near an inner layer of barricades said supporters of the junta tried to provoke them with abuse.
"Some people shouted bad words about Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and tried to start a fight," said Ko Yin Aye, a youth member of her party. 'Daw' is a term of respect use for older women.
