Rights groups have criticised the latest sentencing as a farce and a 'courtroom circus'.

The latest sentencing in legal proceedings that rights groups have criticised as a farce and a"courtroom circus" means she faces a six-year jail term after two convictions last month.

Suu Kyi was detained on the day of the Feb. 1 coup and days later, police said six illegally imported walkie-talkies were found during a search of her home. She was also sentenced to two years on another charge of breaching a natural disaster management law related to coronavirus rules, the source said.

Rights group Amnesty International said on Twitter on Monday the new convictions were"the latest act in the farcical trial against the civilian leader." Her trial has been closed to the media and Suu Kyi's lawyers have been barred from communicating with the media and public.
