Solitary confinement for Myanmar’s ousted leader

Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi has reportedly been moved to solitary confinement in prison

Aung San Suu Kyi was in house arrest but a Junta spokesperson says she has been moved to a new prison in accordance with criminal laws.

It’s understood the 77-year-old is in solitary confinement in the military-built capital of Naypyidaw.

The former leader has been held by the military since February last year, when it ousted her democratically-elected government.

She has since been charged with at least 20 offences that could lead to her spending the rest of her life in detention.

Information about Aung San Suu Kyi’s trials is limited. Hearings are not accessible to the media, and the former leader’s legal team have been banned from speaking about the court proceedings.

Myanmar’s military Junta perviously said it would execute four people whose appeals were rejected following a series of closed-door trials.

“These secretive tribunals with their lightning convictions are aimed at chilling any dissent against the military junta,” says Manny Maung, who is a Myanmar researcher at Human Rights Watch.
