From 2019: Aung San Suu Kyi ignoring crimes against Rohingya Muslims, court at The Hague hears

Deposed Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi was sentenced on Friday by a court to three years imprisonment over her role in “election fraud”.

This adds more jail time to the 17 years she is already serving for various offences.

Last month, a court in military-ruled Myanmar convicted Ms Suu Kyi, 77, on more charges, adding six years to an earlier 11-year prison sentence.
