BANGKOK -- Myanmar's ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi attended a court session on Monday, a day after police fired on protesters and killed at least 18 people in the worst violence since the military coup.

One month after the takeover on Feb. 1, the hearing at a district-level court took place Monday in Naypyitaw, according to her lawyer.
