A lawyer for Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi says a court in Yangon will hear testimony next week on a dispute between the detained opposition leader and her brother over efforts to renovate her lakeside home.
Suu Kyi was forced to suspend repairs on her house in December after her estranged brother Aung San Oo lodged his objections. Her brother, an American citizen, has long fought for partial ownership of the home and its nearly 2-acre (1-hectare) plot.
The dilapidated, two-story home serves as an unofficial prison for the Nobel Peace Prize winner, who stays there under house arrest. She has been detained 14 of the past 20 years.
Suu Kyi's lawyer Nyan Win said the Yangon Division Court has agreed to hear the case Feb. 10.
