Aung San Suu Kyi sentenced to seven more years in prison over corruption charges
Myanmar's ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been sentenced to a further seven years in prison over charges ranging from corruption to illegally importing walkie talkies - taking her total time inside to 33 years.
Each of the seven counts were punishable of up to 15 years in jail.
This is just another in a series of prosecutions since the military overthrew her elected government in 2021, and the 77-year-old will likely now spend the rest of her life behind bars.
