Supreme Court Rejects Aung San Suu Kyi's Appeal in Corruption Case

The ousted leader continues to serve her prison sentence amid ongoing political turmoil in Myanmar.

Aung San Suu Kyi's special appeal against her corruption conviction was rejected by Burma's Supreme Court.
Suu Kyi was convicted of receiving $600,000 and seven gold bars from a former political colleague, leading to a five-year prison sentence.
Her legal team has been unable to meet with her to receive instructions, despite multiple attempts.
Initial appeals in most of her cases have already been rejected at least once by the lower court.
Myanmar has been in turmoil since the military's 2021 takeover, leading to widespread protests and armed resistance.
