Burmese Court Sentences Deposed Leader Aung San Suu Kyi to 4 Years in Prison

HeadlineDec 06, 2021

In Burma, a court sentenced deposed civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi to four years in prison. She is accused of incitement and violating COVID-19 rules, which have been blasted by rights groups as fabricated charges aimed at suppressing opposition. It’s the first verdicts of the nearly dozen charges leveled against Aung San Suu Kyi by the military junta which overthrew her government in a February 1 coup.
