Myanmar's Yangon district court has postponed the date of delivering a verdict on Aung San Suu Kyi to Aug. 11, the official paper New Light of Myanmar reported on Saturday.

The original date for the verdict was set for Friday by the court after Suu Kyi's defense lawyers presented their closing statements on Tuesday.

"The court was unable to pass the final judgement, for it still has to review and decide the legal proceedings over the statements of the witnesses, evidences and arguments of the both sides", the paper said.

Aung San Suu Kyi, 64, General Secretary of the National League for Democracy (NLD), has been standing trial since May 18 in connection with a case involving an American, John William Yettaw, who sneaked into her then restricted house in early May.

She was taken to Yangon's Insein Prison from her restricted residence at the Inya lake-side on May 14.

She was charged with breaching "the Law to Safeguard the State Against the Dangers of Those Desiring to Cause Subversive Acts" by accommodating the American and speaking to him who entered into her house for three days from May 3 to 5.

Along with Aung San Suu Kyi, her two female housemates -- Khin Khin Win and Win Ma Ma are also under trial on charge of supporting her acts.

Yettaw, 53, was charged with breaking Myanmar's immigration and municipal rules and regulations by swimming across the Inya Lake to Suu Kyi's house.
