A Myanmar court has halved the jail term for disposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi to now two years after she was sentenced to four on Monday
A court in military-ruled Myanmar sentenced former leader Aung San Suu Kyi to two years detention after convicting her on charges widely dismissed as politically motivated
Aung San Suu Kyi was convicted in a ruling on Monday and is now set to serve time in detention at an undisclosed location.
The two year prison term is a sentence reduced from four years after a partial pardon from the country’s military chief according to state TV reports.
Other leaders jailed:
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.
President Win Myint’s sentence was also later halved to two years.
According to the report on MRTV, the sentences would be applied “at their current detention places,” with reports stating that means they would not be sent to prison.
It is not clear where Aung San Suu Kyi has been held but she has not described it as a prison.
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.
The ruling on Monday is the first in a dozen cases the military has brought against the 76-year-old since it deposed her civilian government.
ticker NEWS understands 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.
