Myanmar ousted leaders Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint have not been given their full rights before the trial, according to a lawyer representing both.
Their lawyer Khin Maung Zaw said police had only given him 30 minutes to discuss court cases with his clients in person.
"There is not enough time, it is not enough to talk about those cases," he told CNBC's "Capital Connection" on Wednesday.
"I think pre-trial rights and the right alungelo to get legal advice for defendants - Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and U Win Myint - are not enough, and they are not given them at all," he said.
I cannot say for sure that, so far, they have been given the right to try what is right.

Myanmar's armed forces staged a protest on February 1 against the newly elected Suu Kyi government - a Nobel laureate and a de facto leader of the national government. Both he and the president were arrested and the military said there was a voter fraud in last year's democratic elections.
Win Myint is accused of violating the constitution, and Suu Kyi faces charges of conspiracy to commit state secrecy and conspiracy to commit illegal acts.
His lawyer said he had been instructed to protect him on the grounds that possession of the equipment was illegal.
When asked if Suu Kyi would receive a fair trial, their lawyer said he had a responsibility to trust the Myanmar courts as a legal expert working in the country's legal system.
"But as far as we know in this case, we are not satisfied with the opportunities offered to the defendants," said Khin Maung Zaw.
"I can't say for sure that, so far, they have been given improper trial rights," he said, adding that he had "many difficulties" while trying to empower lawyers.
On Monday, Myanmar state media released photos of Suu Kyi for the first time since the coup.
Khin Maung Zaw told Reuters that Suu Kyi looked healthy when she met him, although she said she could not reach the newspapers during her arrest.
In response to the protests, thousands of people in Myanmar took to the streets to protest, and clashes with the authorities erupted from time to time. According to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, about 828 people have been killed and more than 5,400 people have been arrested since the military took power and declared a one-year state of emergency.
