Deposed Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been sentenced to four years imprisonment for incitement and breaching coronavirus restrictions. The United Kingdom reacted immediately. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said "The sentencing of Aung San Suu Kyi is another appalling attempt by Myanmar’s military regime to stifle opposition and suppress freedom and democracy.". She further said "The United Kingdom calls on the regime to release political prisoners, engage in dialogue and allow a return to democracy. The arbitrary detention of elected politicians only risks further unrest.".
