MYANMAR TO ENGLISH TRIAL
The trial in Naypyidaw has been closed to the media, while the military has barred Aung San Suu Kyi’s lawyers from communicating with the media and the public. The ruling on Monday is the first in a dozen cases the military has brought against the 76-year-old since it seized power from her civilian government hours before a new parliament was due to convene. Zaw Min Tun, a spokesman for Myanmar’s military told the AFP news agency on Monday that Aung San Suu Kyi was found guilty of incitement and of violating COVID-19 rules. It is not clear where Aung San Suu Kyi has been held. Win Myint’s sentence was also later cut to two years.Īccording to the report on MRTV, the sentences would be applied “at their current detention places,” apparently meaning they would not be sent to prison. President Win Myint was also sentenced to four years as the court delivered its first verdicts in numerous cases against Aung San Suu Kyi and other civilian leaders deposed by the military in a coup on February 1.
MYANMAR TO ENGLISH TV
The sentence was reduced after a partial pardon from coup leader and army chief Min Aung Hlaing, state TV reported. A court in military-ruled Myanmar has found elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who was removed by the generals when they seized power, guilty of charges widely dismissed as politically motivated and sentenced her to detention at an undisclosed location.Īung San Suu Kyi, who was convicted in a ruling on Monday, was initially given a four year term.
