New Delhi (Mizzima) - An All Burma Federation of Student Unions (ABFSU) leader, serving a three year sentence, is facing trial for a fresh charge, his mother, who visited him in jail last week said.
The trail date is for March 19.
Kyaw Ko Ko, an ABFSU leader, was brought to Rangoon and produced before the Kyauktada Township court today on an additional charge but the trial was shifted to March 19 because the witness did not turn up today, said law consultant Aung Thein who is monitoring the case. The exact nature of the fresh charge is not known yet.
Kyaw Ko Ko was arrested along with Nyan Lin Aung on 15 March 2008 for participating in the 2007 saffron revolution. He was charged under the Video Act and sentenced to three years and was subsequently transferred to Taunggyi jail in Shan State.
