BANGKOK -- Myanmar's ousted de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi was sentenced to six years in prison on corruption charges Monday, a source close to her trial said, bringing the total prison time facing the Noble Peace Prize winner to 17 years.
Suu Kyi was put under house arrest after the military took control of Myanmar in February 2021. The 77-year-old democracy icon was moved to quarters inside a Naypyitaw prison two months ago and is no longer allowed a personal staff.
