Suu Kyi will now be remanded until February 17, according to Khin Maung Zaw, a lawyer asked by Suu Kyi’s party to represent her.
Suu Kyi’s extended detention is likely to further inflame tensions between the military, which seized power in a February 1 coup, and the protesters who have taken to the streets of cities across the Southeast Asian nation seeking the return of the government they elected.
They chanted slogans and made three-fingered salutes – the protest movement’s sign of resistance – at military vehicles as they passed by the compound.
