On Monday, a Myanmar military court found Aung San Suu Kyi guilty of three criminal offenses and sentenced her to four years in prison, the latest round in a judicial assault on the deposed democratic leader.
The 76-year-old was found guilty of two offenses linked to unlawfully importing and owning walkie-talkies, as well as one charge of violating coronavirus guidelines, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Soldiers invaded her house on the day of the coup, purportedly uncovering the contraband equipment, which led to the walkie-talkie allegations.
The Nobel Laureate has been jailed since February 1, when her administration was deposed in an early morning coup, putting an end to Myanmar’s brief democratic experiment.
