Australian economist jailed for three years in Myanmar
Bangkok | A court in military-ruled Myanmar convicted former leader Aung San Suu Kyi in another criminal case on Thursday and sentenced Australian economist Sean Turnell to three years in prison for violating Myanmar’s official secrets act, a legal official said.
Ms Suu Kyi received a three-year sentence after being tried and convicted with Professor Turnell under the secrets law, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorised to release information about the case.
