Yangon, July 10 (DPA) The trial of Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi resumed Friday amid tight security with a defence witness scheduled to testify.

Lawyer Khin Moe Moe, a member of Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) party, entered the court at Insein Prison in the morning to testify on Suu Kyi's behalf. Police security was tight around the prison, witnesses said.

She was one of two witnesses permitted to testify for the defence while prosecutors were allowed 14.

Suu Kyi's defence team met with the jailed Nobel Peace Prize laureate Wednesday to brief her on the trial.

'Daw (Mrs) Aung San Suu Kyi is fully prepared for whatever happens at the trial,' Nyan Win, one of her lawyers, said after the briefing.

Nyan Win, who is the official spokesperson for the NLD, also informed Suu Kyi that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon had been denied a meeting with her by Myanmar's military junta during his brief trip to Myanmar July 3-4.

'She made no remark on that,' Nyan Win said.

Myanmar's military regime refused Ban's request to meet Suu Kyi on the grounds that she was currently on trial and such a visit might prejudice the judiciary.

The excuse was deemed ridiculous because it is well-known that Myanmar's judiciary does not operate independently of the junta.
