A court in Myanmar has sentenced Aung San Suu Kyi to four years in provision. She was convicted for the illegal possession and import of walkie-talkies and violating Covid-19 restrictions.

The sentencing was the first in a series of cases in which the 76-year-old Nobel laureate is being prosecuted since the army seized power on February 1. There are other cases against her in court.
