She has already been sentenced to 11 years' imprisonment after being convicted of illegally importing and possessing walkie-talkies, violating coronavirus restrictions, sedition and another corruption charge. She is being tried in closed sessions and her lawyers cannot speak publicly on her behalf or about her trial because of a gag order placed on them. Suu Kyi has been detained since the army ousted her elected government in February 2021 and has not been seen or allowed to speak in public since then. She is charged with two counts under the country's the Anti-Corruption Act, with each count punishable by up to 15 years in prison and a fine. Ousted Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi went on trial Monday in a new corruption case against her, alleging she took US$550,000 in bribes from a construction magnate.
