Another criminal charge was brought against Myanmar's detained leader Aung San Suu Kyi at a court hearing in the capital Naypyitaw on Monday, her lawyer said, as protests calling for her release and democracy continued, with the death toll reaching over 700.

Demonstrations against the Feb. 1 military coup took place at several locations in Myanmar on Monday, including a motorbike rally in the northern Sagaing region and a protest in the second-largest city Mandalay.

The demonstrators were undeterred, despite last week's killing of over 80 people in the city of Bago, near Yangon, from Thursday night to Friday, likely the deadliest day for a single area since the coup.

Meanwhile, the security forces launched raids on protesters' defense lines in Tamu near the country's Indian border early Monday, according to The Irrawaddy newspaper's post on Twitter.

Security forces have killed 706 people as of Sunday since the military seized power from the elected government of Suu Kyi, according to a tally by the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners based in Thailand and Myanmar.

The rights group monitoring the situation in Myanmar called the crackdown in Bago "a killing field," with at least 82 people confirmed dead in shootings there by the military.

The group also said 3,059 people have been arrested, charged or sentenced, as of Sunday. The arrested include Suu Kyi and other leaders of her party, National League for Democracy.

Suu Kyi had already faced five other charges prior to Monday's, and the newest one concerns violation of the Natural Disaster Management Law, according to the lawyer, Min Min Soe.

The new charge for breaching COVID-19 restrictions is the second one for Suu Kyi under the law, Min Min Soe said, adding Suu Kyi attended the court hearing in Naypyitaw through videoconference.

The ousted leader, who has been held since the military coup, is also charged with illegally importing walkie-talkies, spreading information that fanned social unease, receiving $600,000 and gold from then chief minister of the Yangon Region, and violating the country's colonial-era Official Secrets Act.

The coup ousted Suu Kyi's elected government and put her under house arrest.

Reports say she has been moved from her residence in the capital, but it remains unclear where exactly she is.
