NAY PYI TAW, 9 June - After hearing the statements presented on 5 June by both sides on criminal amendment case 437/2009 submitted for some amendments to Yangon North District Court's judgement of dismissing the three witnesses nominated by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Daw Khin Khin Win and Ma Win Ma Ma in the lawsuit 47/2009 filed against Mr John William Yettaw, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Daw Khin Khin Win and Ma Win Ma Ma, Yangon Division Court delivered a judgement on the case today.

The district court refused to summon three of the four witnesses nominated by the accused. Yangon Division Court confirmed the decree delivered by the district court as there is no need to argue about the nomination of witnesses U Win Tin and U Tin Oo regarding the character.

Moreover, the reason "the advocates defending the accused, in connection with witness Daw Khin Moe Moe nominated in line with legal affairs, have the rights to argue with legal facts" given by the district court is correct. However, Yangon Division Court issued an order for the district court to summon and examine legal expert Daw Khin Moe Moe as a defence witness in order to hear the case more thoroughly.
