Suu Kyi, a Nobel peace laureate, remains on trial for five more corruption charges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The most recent charges were filed after allegations of corruption by a prominent businessperson who had previously served a prison sentence for drug possession and trafficking. The businessperson alleged that he frequently delivered cash bribes to Suu Kyi\u2019s home in exchange for her giving preference to his company\u2019s government tenders, or contract bids, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2022\/10\/12\/military-ruled-myanmar-increases-aung-san-suu-kyis-jail-time\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Al Jazeera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Suu Kyi\u2019s legal team is expected to appeal the decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the businessperson was widely viewed as a questionable witness in Myanmar, the accusations were broadcast on the state-owned television network, Myanmar TV, in what Al Jazeera perceives as an attempt to publicly undermine Suu Kyi\u2019s political credibility. The charges against Suu Kyi have the potential to block her from politically challenging the junta.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The military junta has promised to hold an election in 2023, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/10\/12\/1128317703\/myanmar-court-extends-suu-kyis-prison-sentence-to-26-years\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NPR<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Suu Kyi has little opportunity to influence these elections, however, due to her inability to address the public. Since she was arrested in February 2021, Suu Kyi has not been seen or heard by the public. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/chief-lawyer-myanmars-suu-kyi-says-he-has-been-issued-gag-order-2021-10-15\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reuters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explains that this was made more extreme in October of last year when Khin Maung Zaw, Suu Kyi\u2019s head lawyer, revealed the junta had also imposed a gag order on his communications with the public about Suu Kyi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The gag order details the junta\u2019s claims that Maung Zaw\u2019s rhetoric could \u201ccause riots and [destabilize] the public peace,\u201d Reuters continues. The order also claimed that his communications had made it to \u201cillegal media outlets\u201d that were spreading false information about the junta, Suu Kyi, and the trials. Maung Zaw was known to provide information on Suu Kyi\u2019s trial and well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The gag order is just one of many difficulties Suu Kyi\u2019s legal team has faced while representing her against a myriad of charges. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myanmar-now.org\/en\/news\/suu-kyi-charged-under-official-secrets-act-says-lawyer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Myanmar Now<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reveals that the legal team of The National League for Democracy, Suu Kyi\u2019s party, has been representing her, but defense lawyers are frequently barred from court and the team has struggled to transfer power of attorney.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Suu Kyi\u2019s case is the most prominent in Myanmar, but she is far from the only person experiencing a slew of charges in the wake of the junta\u2019s takeover. In the past year, NPR reports that at least 15,821 civilians have been arrested and at least 2,343 civilians have been killed by Myanmar security forces. Arrested individuals include other leaders of the National League of Democracy, which won a majority in Parliament in 2020 that would have cemented civilian control over the country. However, members were prevented from assuming their positions by the military, which justified this move with an unsubstantiated claim of voting fraud.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2022\/oct\/12\/aung-san-suu-kyi-faces-total-of-26-years-in-prison-after-latest-corruption-sentencing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Guardian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, human rights groups estimate that over 12,600 people are currently being held by the military, including at least 40 journalists. Journalists, like politicians, have come under severe scrutiny by the junta. This scrutiny has triggered the repeated use of Myanmar\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Electronic Transactions Law<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which prescribes a prison sentence of seven to 15 years for anyone who electronically transmits \u201cany information relating to secrets of the security of the State.\u201d The Committee to Protect Journalists, an American non-profit, has described this application of the law as outrageous and is calling for the release of detained journalists.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar\u2019s democratically elected leader ousted in last year\u2019s military takeover, was convicted on two additional corruption charges on October 12, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5096,"featured_media":12011,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2399,2313,386],"tags":[498,659,1250,2366],"class_list":["post-12009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-october-2022","category-2313","category-asia","tag-corruption","tag-myanmar","tag-political-turmoil","tag-prison"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
