YANGON, Jan 31 — A court in army-ruled Myanmar will start an election fraud trial of deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi on February 14, a source familiar with the proceedings said today, after she was accused of influencing the 2020 vote to win a second term in office.
She has denied the military’s accusations of fraud in a 2020 poll swept by her National League for Democracy party. The trio have been charged under section 130-A of the penal code and face up to three years in jail and a fine if found guilty. It adds to a slew of cases against Suu Kyi that carry combined maximum prison terms of more than a century.
The military said it took power because its complaints of fraud by the NLD, which won the 2020 election in a landslide, were being ignored by the election commission. The NLD says it won fairly.
