A television grab shows Aung San Suu Kyi meeting with diplomats at Insein Prison in Yangon on May 20.

"I'm not guilty," the Myanmar opposition leader told the court, according to a spokesman for her party. When the court asked why she claimed innocence, she replied, "I didn't break any law," said the spokesman, Nyan Win.

She is being tried on allegations of subversion along with two of her maids for the May 3 incident in which an American, John William Yettaw, 53, swam across a lake to her house and stayed there for at least one night.
