NAYPYIDAW, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Myanmar's detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday (Oct 4) asked a judge to reduce the frequency of her court hearings due to strained health, her lawyer said.

Aung San Suu Kyi, who is on trial and attending court sessions in multiple cases, requested they each be heard every two weeks, not every week, chief lawyer Khin Maung Zaw said by text message.

He did not specify how Aung San Suu Kyi's health was impacted.
