Aung San Suu Kyi zu 20 Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt

By Jordi Bou

September 2, 2022 - Myanmars abgesetzte Aung San Suu Kyi ist zu weiteren drei Jahren Gefängnis wegen Wahlbetrug verurteilt worden. Sie ist jetzt zu insgesamt 20 Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt, weitere acht Prozesse sind noch ausständig.

A military-controlled court in Myanmar sentenced deposed civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi to three more years in prison for alleged election fraud in the 2020 general elections, which her party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), won overwhelmingly.

The conviction was the fifth verdict against the Nobel peace laureate since the military topped her civilian government in a coup in February 2021.

The latest sentencing brought Suu Kyi’s jail terms to a total of 20 years and she’s awaiting verdicts in eight more charges.

She denies all of the accusations and the trials have been condemned by rights groups as politically motivated.
