REUTERS/Jorge Silva/File PhotoSuu Kyi given four-year jail term on three more chargesAll her charges could amount to over 100 years in prisonJan 10 - A court in military-ruled Myanmar sentenced on Monday ousted leaderto four years in jail on charges including possession of unlicensed walkie-talkies, a source familiar with the proceedings said.

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. Myanmar has been in turmoil since the coup against Suu Kyi's democratically elected government led to widespread protests and signalled the end of 10 years of tentative political reforms that followed decades of strict military rule.That sentence, which was later reduced to two years, was met by a chorus of international condemnation.

The junta says Suu Kyi is being given due process by an independent court led by a judge appointed by her own administration. A spokesman for the military council could not be immediately reached for comment.
