A court in Myanmar has sentenced a former British ambassador to the Southeast Asian nation to a year in prison for failing to register her residence, a diplomat who has been following her case said Friday.
Independent media in the military-controlled country and the website of BBC’s Myanmar-language service also reported the court’s action.
The diplomat said former envoy Vicky Bowman’s husband, a Myanmar national, was also given a one-year sentence for the same offense. The diplomat insisted on not being identified because he was not authorized to release such information.
