The Southeast Asian country’s former leader is facing up to 27 years in prison.
Aung San Suu Kyi has been convicted of crimes ranging from treason and bribery to violations of the telecommunications law.
YANGON: The Supreme Court in military-ruled Myanmar has rejected appeals against six corruption convictions for the jailed former leader Aung San Suu Kyi, according to media reports. Suu Kyi, in detention since the military toppled her government in a 2021 coup, faces up to 27 years in prison. She is appealing dozens of convictions for crimes ranging from treason and bribery to violations of the telecommunications law.Myanmar has been in turmoil since the coup and the junta’s crackdown on opponents, with thousands jailed or killed. Many governments have called for the unconditional release of Suu Kyi and thousands of other political prisoners in the Southeast Asian country.
The junta recently granted a partial pardon that shaved six years off her prison sentence, a move that critics, including her son, said meant nothing.
