Suu Kyi found guilty of corruption again by Myanmar court

Aung San Suu Kyi found guilty of corruption again by Myanmar court

She has also been convicted of several other offenses, which previously gave her a total of 26 years' imprisonment.

A court in military-ruled Myanmar on Friday convicted the country's ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi of corruption, sentencing her to seven years in prison in the last of a string of criminal cases against her, a legal official said.
The court's action leaves her with a total of 33 years to serve in prison following a series of politically tinged prosecutions since the army toppled her elected government in February 2021.
She has also been convicted of several other offenses, which previously gave her a total of 26 years' imprisonment. Her supporters and independent analysts say the charges against her are an attempt to legitimise the military's seizure of power while eliminating her from politics before an election it has promised for next year.

Friday's verdict in the purpose-built courtroom in the main prison on the outskirts of the capital, Naypyitaw, was made known by a legal official who insisted on anonymity for fear of being punished by the authorities.
The trial was closed to the media, diplomats and spectators, and her lawyers were barred by a gag order from talking about it.

A court in Myanmar sentenced ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi to four more years in prison on Monday after finding her guilty of illegally importing and possessing walkie-talkies and violating coronavirus restrictions, a legal official said.
Suu Kyi was convicted last month on two other charges and given a four-year prison sentence, which was then halved by the head of the military-installed government.
The cases are among about a dozen brought against the 76-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate since the army seized power last February, ousting her elected government.
Suu Kyi's supporters say the charges against her are contrived to legitimize the military's actions and prevent her from returning to politics.

At least 15 to 20 villagers, including several teenage students, have been killed in some of Myanmar's deadliest fighting since July between government troops and resistance forces, reports said.
The fighting near Gangaw Township in the northwestern Magway Region started on Thursday, two days after a call for a nationwide uprising was issued by the National Unity Government, which is a group of deposed legislators.
The opposition movement that rose against the army's February coup against the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi was initially peaceful, but gradually began fighting back after security forces used deadly force to break up nonviolent protests.
Media sympathetic to the opposition reported an outburst of small-scale shootings and sabotage by the resistance, particularly the toppling of cell phone transmission towers.

EU Parliament suspends Suu Kyi from Sakharov Prize community

AP, Brussels:&nbsp;The European Parliament on Thursday suspended Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi from the group of former winners of its top human rights prize because of her &ldquo;failure to act and her acceptance" of the oppression of the Rohingya Muslim ethnic group.
A long-time political prisoner before she came to power, Suu Kyi was once admired for her non-violent struggle against Myanmar's military rule and she won the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize.
But in recent years, she has been rejected internationally for Myanmar's oppression of the Rohingya. More than 700,000 Rohingya fled to neighboring Bangladesh to escape the army's brutal counterinsurgency campaign in 2017.
&ldquo;The decision (...) to exclude Aung San Suu Kyi formally from all activities of the community of Sakharov Prize laureates is a response to her failure to act and her acceptance of the ongoing crimes against the Rohingya community in Myanmar," the EU Parliament said in a statement.
Suu Kyi won the Sakharov Prize in 1990 but was only able to collect it 23 years later.
She is currently Myanmar's state counsellor, the de facto head of state. She looks set to keep her position after the November 8 general election, with her National League for Democracy party widely expected to again win the most seats.
As state counsellor, Suu Kyi does not oversee the military, but she has repeatedly denied accusations that the army committed genocide against the Rohingya.&nbsp;
