Anger in the international arena against Suu Kyi’s sentence
Human rights group Amnesty International has condemned the verdict against Aung San Suu Kyi. Ming Yu Ha, the organization’s regional director of publicity, said: “Aung San Suu Kyi has been severely punished on false charges. The sentencing is the latest example of Myanmar’s military’s crackdown on dissidents inside the country.
Richard Horsey, a senior adviser to the International Crisis Group based in Myanmar, told AFP the sentence was announced to show the military’s power. He thinks Suu Kyi will not be sent to prison. The horse said it would be a surprise if he (Suu Kyi) was sent to prison. Most likely, he will serve his sentence at home or at a government guesthouse.
Myanmar’s military seized power in a bloodless coup on February 1 this year. Top leaders of his party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), including Aung San Suu Kyi, were arrested. The trial began in June, four months after the army took him into custody. Eleven charges have been brought against him, including incitement against the army and breach of state secrecy law. Suu Kyi could face up to 100 years in prison if convicted in all of these cases.
Journalists are not allowed to enter Suu Kyi’s special military court in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw. Suu Kyi’s lawyers can’t even speak to the media.
Suu Kyi and other detained NLD members are also on trial. Earlier last month, a former minister was sentenced to 75 years in prison. A close associate of Suu Kyi has been sentenced to 20 years in prison
