A court in military-ruled Myanmar has found former leader Aung San Suu Kyi guilty of corruption, the latest verdict in a series of secret trials.
Ms Suu Kyi has been under house arrest since February 2021 when a military coup ousted her elected government.
The 76-year-old Nobel laureate has been charged with a raft of criminal offences including voter fraud.
She denies all of the accusations and rights groups have condemned the court trials as a sham.
The closed-door hearings in Myanmar’s capital have been shut to the public and media, and Ms Suu Kyi’s lawyers forbidden from speaking to journalists.
A junta court found her guilty of taking a $600,000 bribe in the form of cash and gold bars from the former head of Yangon, Myanmar’s largest city and region.
