UN rights chief 'deeply deplores' Suu Kyi conviction in Myanmar: spokesperson

The spokesperson for Michelle Bachelet says the the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights 'deeply deplores the sentencing of Myanmar's State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi'. Myanmar's junta jailed ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi for four years for incitement against the military and breaching Covid rules, the first of a series of possible sentences that could see the Nobel laureate imprisoned for decades.
