Aung San Suu Kyi sentenced to a further three years on election fraud charge

Myanmar’s former leader now faces 20 years in prison with other cases still to be heard.

Former Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been sentenced to a further three years in prison with hard labor on an election fraud charge.

The sentence was handed down on Friday by the Naypyidaw Prison Court.

Last month a military court sentenced Suu Kyi to six years in prison following her conviction on corruption charges that critics say are without merit.

Suu Kyi, 77, now faces a total of 20 years in prison, after sentences from other cases brought by Myanmar’s military leaders, who overthrew her democratically elected civilian government in a Feb. 1, 2021 coup.

She still faces charges in nine more cases that could lead to her receiving sentences totaling more than 100 years.
