MYANMAR'S EX-LEADER AUNG SAN SUU KYI HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO PRISON FOR CORRUPTION

  • 27/04/2022

Former Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi was convicted guilty of corruption by a court in the military-run country, the latest in a series of secret trials.

Ms Suu Kyi has been in house arrest since a military coup deposed her elected government in February 2021.

The 76-year-old Nobel Laureate faces a slew of charges, including voter fraud.

She rejects all of the allegations, and human rights organisations have slammed the judicial proceedings as a farce.

The public and media have been barred from the closed-door proceedings in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw, and Ms Suu Kyi's attorneys have been prevented from speaking to journalists.
