Aung San Suu Kyi given six extra years in prison on corruption charges

Ousted leader of Myanmar will appeal against new conviction added to earlier 11-year sentence

A court in military-ruled Myanmar convicted the country's ousted leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, on more corruption charges on Monday, adding six years to her earlier 11-year prison sentence, a legal official said.

The trial was held behind closed doors, with no access for media or the public, and her lawyers were forbidden by a gag order from revealing information about the proceedings.
