DVB ( July 28,2003 )

There was a hearing at a divisional court in Rangoon today on the inheritance lawsuit against Daw Aung San Suu Kyi by her brother. But Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s legal representative, U Tun Tin was unable to attend and the hearing was postponed to the 25th of August.

U Tun Tin has been ill and he was unable to attend the court appointment twice.

According to earlier reports, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s legal team requested the court to postpone the hearing as the situation was unstable because of the Dipeyin incident and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi herself is being detained. But the authority refused the request and decided to continue the trial.

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s older brother U Aung San Oo and his wife Daw Leh Leh Nwe Lay have been living in Rangoon but they haven’t comment anything about the inheritance lawsuit.

According to the latest news, the court also refused to cancel the case with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s cousin Ko Soe Aung and it is to be heard on the 6th of August.
