据两名熟悉此案的律师透露，一名泰国女子周四在缅甸一家法院出庭，就其在仰光杀害一名美国外交官的谋杀指控接受讯问。
其中一名律师表示，这名身份尚未公开的女子被控谋杀罪，以及违反缅甸移民法的罪名——该条款适用于所有在缅甸犯罪的外国公民。
目前尚不清楚她在卡马拉特镇法院的庭审中是否进行了抗辩，或是否有法律代表。如果被判谋杀罪成立，她可能面临最高死刑、最低十年监禁的刑罚。
两位律师均要求匿名，以免遭到缅甸军政府当局的报复。
据其中一名律师介绍，这名外交官于5月11日被发现死于樱花公寓酒店，该酒店深受外交官、商界人士和其他国际游客欢迎，距离美国大使馆约1英里。他头部和颈部有刺伤。
美国国务院证实了这起死亡事件，但拒绝提供进一步信息，包括外交官的姓名。
缅甸（又称缅甸联邦）军方2021年从民选领导人昂山素季手中夺取政权，引发大规模抗议，随后演变为一场血腥内战。
缅甸当局极少与媒体沟通，负责调查此案的警方、嫌疑人据称被关押的监狱，以及她出庭的法院均拒绝置评。
美国国务院亚太媒体中心周四将有关是否有美国观察员前往旁听庭审的问题转交美国驻缅甸大使馆。该大使馆重申了国务院关于此次死亡事件的初始声明，并将其他问题转交缅甸当地当局。
泰国外交部表示，正在为被关押的该女子提供领事协助，但称目前尚无信息表明泰国是否在周四的庭审中为其提供了法律援助。
泰国方面将进一步问题转交其驻缅甸大使馆，该大使馆拒绝通过电话置评，也未回复电子邮件。
Woman faces murder charges in killing of American diplomat in Myanmar

A Thai woman appeared in a Myanmar court on Thursday to answer charges of murder in the killing of an American diplomat in Yangon, according to two attorneys familiar with the case.
The woman, whose identity has not been released, was charged with murder as well as a charge under the country’s immigration code that applies to any foreign national who commits a crime in Myanmar, according to one of the attorneys.
It was not clear whether she entered a plea or had legal representation during the hearing in Kamayut Township Court. She faces the possibility of a sentence ranging from 10 years in prison to the death penalty if she is convicted of murder.
Both lawyers spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid possible repercussions from authorities in Myanmar’s military-run government.
The diplomat was found dead May 11 at the Sakura Residence & Hotel, a facility popular with diplomats, business people and other international visitors that is about 1 mile from the American Embassy, according to one of the attorneys. He had suffered stab wounds to the head and neck.
The U.S. State Department confirmed the death, but refused to provide further information, including the name of the diplomat.
The military seized power from democratically elected Aung San Suu Kyi in 2021, giving rise to widespread protests that have expanded into a bloody civil war in Myanmar, which is also known as Burma.
Authorities rarely speak with the media, and the police investigating the case, the prison where the suspect is believed to be being held, and the court where she made her appearance all refused to comment.
Officials at the State Department’s Asia Pacific Media Hub on Thursday referred questions as to whether American observers were sent to the court appearance to the U.S. Embassy in Myanmar. The embassy repeated the State Department’s original statement on the death, and referred other questions to local Myanmar authorities.
Thailand’s foreign ministry has said it is providing consular assistance to the woman in custody, but said it had no immediate information on whether it had helped her with legal assistance at her hearing on Thursday.
It referred further questions to its embassy in Myanmar, which refused to comment by phone and did not respond to an email.
