The corrupt judges of the ‘kangaroo court’ in Burma have handed down another spurious unjustified sentence on Aung San Suu Kyi

• The court sentenced her to three years in prison but that was immediately reduced to 18 months on the orders of the military government, which said she could serve the time in her Yangon home

• A guilty verdict had been widely expected in a case critics say was fabricated by the military regime to keep Suu Kyi out of circulation ahead of a general election scheduled for next year

• The Nobel laureate was charged with breaching the terms of her house arrest following an incident in which an American man, John Yettaw, swam across a lake to reach her residence in May.

Burma - Myanmar has been under military rule since 1962 and the generals have shown no sign of releasing their iron grip

Yet another human rights violation of calculated injustice and brutal cruelty!
