Ousted Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi is expected to hear the verdict in her incitement trial on Tuesday – the first judgement from her many junta court cases that could see her jailed for decades

A Myanmar court is due to deliver the first verdicts against its former leader Aung San Suu Kyi

The leader was overthrown by the military in February, and is on trial for offences that carry a combined maximum jail sentence of more than 100 years.

The overthrown leader is on trial for nearly a dozen offences, including breaking a natural disaster law and violating COVID-19 protocols.

Suu Kyi faces three years in prison if found guilty of incitement against the military, although analysts say it is unlikely she will be taken away to jail on Tuesday.

The United Nations have condemned the indictments and demanded the her release.

A spokesperson for the Junta has previously said the former leader was being granted due process by an independent judiciary.

The court room remains off limits to the media and local reporters.

Trump sends Kushner and Witkoff to Egypt for urgent hostage negotiations amid escalating Gaza violence and fragile peace talks.

President Trump has dispatched Jared Kushner and real estate magnate Steve Witkoff to Egypt in an urgent diplomatic effort to finalise a hostage release agreement. The move marks one of the most significant interventions since Trump’s re-emergence on the global stage, as violence continues to escalate in Gaza.

Both Hamas and Israel have cautiously endorsed the framework of Trump’s peace proposal, though sticking points remain over the terms of prisoner exchanges and territorial concessions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made clear that Israel will not agree to any conditions that undermine its national security or sovereignty.

On the ground, the humanitarian toll continues to rise, with mounting casualties in Gaza and widespread destruction. Civilians trapped in the conflict zones are pleading for relief and an end to the fighting as world powers scramble to broker a breakthrough.
