A COURT in military-ruled Burma has postponed the verdict in the case of democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi until August 11, her lawyers and diplomats say.
"The verdict date is now August 11. The reason the judges gave is that they have to review the case again,'' said a foreign diplomat who attended today's brief hearing at Rangoon's notorious Insein prison.
Suu Kyi's lawyer Nyan Win confirmed the postponement.
"The court said they have to consider legal problems, that's why they said they will give the verdict on August 11,'' Nyan Win, who is also the spokesman for her National League for Democracy, said.
"We are not surprised. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was also not surprised,'' he said.
