The latest sentence handed to Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi is an “affront to justice and rule of law”, the United States said Monday after the ousted leader was convicted of corruption and jailed for six years.

“The Burma military regime’s unjust arrest, conviction, and sentencing of Aung San Suu Kyi is an affront to justice and the rule of law,” a State Department spokesperson said, using the country’s former name.
