The court also sentenced U Win Myint, the former president, and U Myo Aung, the ousted mayor of Naypyidaw.
The Myanmar court that sentenced Daw Aung San Suu Kyi to four years on Monday also convicted two longtime allies, including Myanmar’s ousted president, U Win Myint. Mr. Win Myint and U Myo Aung, the ousted mayor of the capital city, Naypyidaw, were both found guilty of responsibility along with Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi for two letters sent by the National League for Democracy after the coup urging the international community not to recognize the regime and declaring all laws enacted by the junta to be illegal. Mr. Win Myint, who was also convicted of violating Covid-19 protocols, was sentenced to four years in custody. Mr. Myo Aung, who was convicted just on the incitement charge, was sentenced to two years.
