Deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi made her first in-person court appearance since Myanmar's Feb. 1 coup, appearing in good health and meeting her legal team.
Suu Kyi faces multiple charges, including illegal possession of walkie-talkies and violating a state secrets law, as her National League for Democracy party faces potential dissolution by the junta.
The coup has plunged Myanmar into chaos, with daily protests met by lethal force, resulting in over 800 deaths according to activist groups.

Myanmar's detained Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, received a package from Britain's King Charles III, which included two gardening books, a sealed envelope, and diplomatic communication.
The event marked the first release of images of Suu Kyi in two months and saw Myanmar authorities describe her as a "special female prisoner" for the first time.
Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
