Suu Kyi convicted again, Australian economist gets 3 years
Suu Kyi received a three-year sentence after being convicted with [Sean] Turnell under the secrets law
She had already been sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment after being convicted of illegally importing and possessing walkie-talkies, violating coronavirus restrictions, sedition, election fraud and five corruption charges.
Suu Kyi is still being tried on seven counts under the country’s anti-corruption law, with each count punishable by up to 15 years in prison and a fine.
Three members of her Cabinet were also found guilty, each receiving sentences of three years.
