Why was she tried in military court? [Correction: she wasn't]

Okay, okay, it's Myanmar, but why try a civilian, famous or not, in a military court? The offenses were illegal possession of walkie-talkies and violating COVID-19 restrictions.

P.S. The trial was held in secret.

Correction (with H/T to Prof. Andrew Reiter of Mt. Holyoke College, who tracks these matters closely): This MyanmarNow article indicates that the case was tried in a civilian court.
