Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi sentenced to four years in prison

A Myanmar court on Monday sentenced ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi to four years in prison for flouting COVID-19 rules and inciting dissent against the military. Zaw Min Tun, a spokesman for the ruling junta said the deposed civilian leader was sentenced to two years' imprisonment under section 505(b) and two years' imprisonment under natural disaster law. For the unversed, this is the first verdict against the Nobel Peace Prize winner since the military seized power earlier this year.
