State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi was sentenced to five years in prison under the Anti-Corruption Law on April 27 for allegedly accepting gold and dollars from Rangoon Chief Minister Phyo Min Thein, court sources told RFA. Judge U Myint San of Mandalay Division ruled in the Naypyidaw Special Court. The details of the verdict are unknown as the military council has barred Suu Kyi's lawyers from speaking to the media. 

     Prior to the trial, Suu Kyi had been sentenced to six years in prison on five of the 18 charges. He faces up to five years in prison for corruption, and has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for a total of six cases to date. The case alleges that Suu Kyi received three hundred thousand US dollars worth of US $ 600,000 and seven pounds of academy gold from Phyo Min Thein between December 2017 and March 2018 during the National League for Democracy (NLD) government. Bo Bo Oo, a member of the National League for Democracy (NLD) 's Rangoon Division Hluttaw, said Suu Kyi had been jailed despite good resistance to the case, and that the military council's judicial pillar was in question. "Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been able to defend herself in the best possible way. There is nothing to show for it. In this case, I have a lot of questions to ask the judiciary during the rule of the militant group." 

    Anti-corruption commissioner Ye Htet, who is prosecuting in the case, testified on October 8 last year that no gold or dollar evidence allegedly given to him by Phyo Min Thein had been confiscated from Suu Kyi. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi herself responded at a October last year office meeting: "Phyo Min Thein has no reason to give her gold and dollars. There is no reason to take them. Most ordinary people do not believe that Aung San Suu Kyi took a bribe from Phyo Min Thein. This is seen as a story created to discredit Aung San Suu Kyi. Ko Zin Ko, from Rangoon, is unhappy that Suu Kyi has been jailed on such charges. "I'm very angry because this is absolutely impossible. It's just degrading her. 

    She's been sacrificing everything in her life. She has given up her husband, her children and all her wealth and worked for the country. When Phyo Min Thein was examined as a prosecution witness, he testified that he had given Suu Kyi gold and dollars. His former colleagues have criticized him for colluding with the military council. Tun Kyi, a former political prisoner, remarked that Phyo Min Thein had become a victim of history because of this. 

"When these things become life-threatening, I really trust my leader. If you respect, no matter how much you torture. Another is in front of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. He could not raise his head in front of the court. 

    His reputation. His past experiences; Experiences are like pouring water on the sand. That is why this act is really a victim of history. " The case began in early June 2021 and lasted 11 months until April 27 this year. Prosecutor Khin Maung Myint said the case needed to be appealed to a higher court because it could not prove that Suu Kyi had committed the crime. "We see legal disputes," he said. 

    On the other hand, we see that under Section 101 of the Evidence Law, we have not been able to prove that Aung San Suu Kyi committed the crime. Another time, he was threatened under Section 24 of the Evidence Law. Because of torture. Because of the promise. 

    It is explicitly stated that the testimony given by the deceiver is not valid. In other words, this is a case that needs to be appealed to get a legal order. " The ruling is in violation of anti-corruption laws and regulations. 

    Rules and regulations Code of Criminal Procedure; Proponents of her case have been working to make the actual transcript of this statement available online. Political analyst Dr Sai Kyi Zin Soe points out that no country will see Suu Kyi's imprisonment as fair and that international pressure could escalate as a result. "No country will see such lawsuits being framed," he said. 

    In particular, the NLD has been barred from playing a political role. Sanctions will affect the sense of injustice. Because of this, even if the current military council does all the right things, it will still have such issues. Because of the facts, people will no longer see that they are good, no matter how good they are later. That has been the case in the past. People close to the court say Suu Kyi, who arrived at the court today, is in good health. Suu Kyi has been charged with a total of 18 charges since the military coup. So far, six cases have been ruled out and 12 more are pending.
