缅甸示威镇压致39死 翁山淑枝今出庭聆讯
缅甸原国务资政翁山淑枝，被军方政府指控，涉嫌受贿60万美元（约80万新元）和逾11公斤黄金，她在今日（15日）透过视讯出庭聆讯。
翁山淑枝领导的全国民主联盟在去年11月选举大胜，但军方指责选举有舞弊现象。军方在2月1日突然发动政变，逮捕了包括翁山淑枝等领袖。
缅甸目前局势依然严峻，示威者仍持续反军方示威。缅甸军警也回以血腥镇压。仅在周日，至少有38名示威者，以及在一名警员死亡，这是2月1日政变以来，最血腥一天。
缅甸经济也大受影响，例如仰光莱达亚工业区，多家工厂遭攻击和纵火，居民们不敢外出，也有警员开枪对付示威者。
据中国驻缅甸大使馆声明，位于莱达亚一家制衣厂遭袭击和纵火，有中国籍员工受伤和受困。该使馆要求当地警方采取有力措施，并再次向中国在缅企业和人员发出安全提示。
据知兰达雅工业区被攻击的中资工厂，包括Global Fashion，还有一间是台湾人投资的制鞋厂Tsang Yih，至于起火原因为何尚在调查中。
