According to a legal official, a Myanmar court sentenced former leader Aung San Suu Kyi to four more years in prison on Monday after finding her guilty of illegally importing and possessing walkie-talkies as well as violating coronavirus regulations.

Suu Kyi was convicted on two more charges last month and sentenced to four years in prison, which was later lowered by the military-installed government's leader.

The cases are among more than a dozen brought against the 76-year-old Nobel Peace Prize recipient after the army overthrew her elected administration last February. 

Suu Kyi's supporters claim the charges against her were made up to justify the military's actions and keep her out of politics.
