Naypyidaw: A Myanmar court on Wednesday sentenced the country's ousted leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, to three more years in prison on bribery charges on Wednesday, media reports said.
The latest three-year term means Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been sentenced to a total of 26 years in prison so far in 14 cases filed by the junta. She has denied any wrongdoing, reports The Irrawaddy.
The regime has filed several charges against her ever since Aung San Suu Kyi was arrested at the time of last year's coup.
Aung San Suu Kyi still faces another five corruption charges filed by the junta.
The regime opened a case under Article 55 of the Anti-Corruption Law last year, alleging that she accepted a bribe from businessman Maung Weik disguised as a donation to her charity, the Daw Khin Kyi Foundation, reports the newspaper.
