Aung San Suu Kyi’s Extension prison Period

Gist-
A military-run bench in Myanmar punished Aung San Suu Kyi’s with three years in jail for election corruption, according to her lawyers.
   Suu Kyi – the country’s old leader – was now found guilty of 11 charges that led to her being punished to 20 years in jail, with numerous charges remaining. She was accused of accepting $550,000 as a payoff from Maung Weik, a tycoon found guilty several years ago of drug trafficking.
   She has refuted all allegations, and the case has been condemned by rights groups as politically encouraged.
   If she is found guilty on all charges, she could face up to 200 years in the penitentiary. The bench found her peccant of perpetrating corruption in the November 2020 public election, in which her party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), succeeded intensely.

Who is Maung Weik?
Maung Weik is a Burmese businessman. He is presently chairman of the Mandalay Business Capital City Development (MBCCD) and Sae Paing Company.

On October 12, a Myanmar judiciary found Aung San Suu Kyi’s culpable of two more corruption charges and punished her with two to three years in prison.

She had already been punished with 23 years of detention after being found guilty of illegally receiving and holding walkies-talkies, disobeying coronavirus regulations, breaking the country’s Authorized Secrets Act, sedition, election corruption, and five other conspiracy charges.

Followers and dominant critics say all the charges are politically provoked and try to degrade her. And at the same time, they are also being prohibited from partaking in the 2024 elections.

She has not been glimpsed or permitted to talk in public since she was imprisoned and her advocates, who had been a source of knowledge on the proceedings, have not been permitted to talk publicly on her behalf or about her case since a gag order was posted on them recently.
