A Myanmar court on Monday sentenced former civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi to four years in prison for inciting public unrest and violating Covid-19-related health rules.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner, whose government was ousted by the military in February, was sentenced to two years in prison under Article 505 (b) and two years in prison under the Natural Disasters Act, said Zaw Min Tun, a spokesman for the military junta. of the country.
A year ago, her National League for Democracy party won the election, which brought her and her party back into office for a second five-year term after decades of military-dominated rule.
The military regained power on February 1, arresting Suu Kyi and many others and plunging Myanmar into unrest after a brief period of stability and promises of more democracy.
Suu Kyi's career has had extreme moments, from the highest levels - winning the Nobel Peace Prize - to the lowest moments, 15 years under house arrest during the previous military government.
Suu Kyi married Oxford University researcher Michael Aris, with whom she had two sons.

Ajo ndihmoi në themelimin e Lidhjes Kombëtare për Demokraci, por në vitin 1989 kur u dënua me arrest shtëpie. Ajo kaloi 15 vjet në arrest shtëpie.
Fama e saj u përhap në vitin 1991 kur iu dha Çmimi Nobel për Paqe, për luftën jo të dhunshme për demokracinë dhe të drejtat e njeriut. “Lufta” e Suu Kyi-t u konsiderua një nga shembujt më të jashtëzakonshëm të guximit civil në Azi në dekadat e fundit. Ajo u bë një simbol i rëndësishëm në luftën kundër shtypjes, u shpreh asokohe Komiteti Norvegjez i Nobelit.
It took 21 years, however, for there to be a seat in the by-elections. A victory in the 2015 general election put her party in power. Forbidden to become president under constitutional rules drafted by the military, the post of state adviser was created to allow her to become the country's leader.
In the November 2020 general election, her party won even more seats than five years ago. But the army opposed the vote and toppled him.
