Aung San Suu Kyi has been found guilty by the military on charges of inciting the public against the public from the statements made on Facebook pages of Suu Kyi’s party after she was detained by the military, following a coup that prevented her from starting a second term in office.
The charge holds anyone who spreads false or inflammatory information that could disturb public order liable. While the prosecution submitted statements posted on the Facebook page of NLD party as evidence, her Defence lawyers argued that Suu Kyi and her co-defendant, former president Win Myint, could not be held responsible for the statements because they were already in detention. These posts criticized the government overthrow and suggested in broad terms that it be resisted, according to a news agency AP.
Suu Kyi is being tried in several other cases including four separate corruption charges over the alleged acceptance of bribes and abusing her power for favourable property deals. Another case covers the alleged use of unlicensed walkie-talkies by her security guards.
