A court in Myanmar has found deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi guilty of electoral fraud, and sentenced her to three years in jail with hard labour.

The Nobel laureate and figurehead of Myanmar’s opposition to decades of military rule has been detained since a coup in February 2021, and has already been convicted of several offences.

She has been previously sentenced to 17 years jail, but denies all the allegations made against her.

Suu Kyi has been judged to have committed fraud in a November 2020 general election, that her National League for Democracy party won with an overwhelming majority.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
