Suu Kyi convicted again, economist gets 3 years

BANGKOK: A court in military-ruled Myanmar convicted former leader Aung San Suu Kyi in another criminal case on Thursday and sentenced Australian economist Sean Turnell to three years in prison for violating the Southeast Asian country's official secrets law, a legal official said.

Suu Kyi received a three-year sentence after being tried and convicted with Turnell under that law, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release information about the case.
