Following this sentence, the Nobel laureate now faces more than three decades in prison.
Suu Kyi, 77, has been imprisoned by the military since a coup last year and has been convicted on every charge leveled against her, from corruption to illegally possessing walkie-talkies and violating Covid restrictions.
She was imprisoned for seven years on corruption charges related to the hiring, maintenance, and purchase of a helicopter for a government minister.
Journalists have been barred from attending the hearings and Suu Kyi’s lawyers have been blocked from speaking to the media.
The road leading to the prison holding Suu Kyi in the military-built capital Naypyidaw was clear of traffic ahead of the verdict, said the media report.
Last week, the United Nations Security Council called on the junta to release Suu Kyi in its first resolution on the situation in Myanmar since the coup.
The council was relatively united after permanent members and junta allies China and Russia abstained, opting not to use vetoes in response to wording changes.
Myanmar has been in turmoil since the military took control, effectively ending the Southeast Asian country’s brief experiment with democracy and sparking massive protests.
According to the United Nations Children’s Agency, over one million people have been displaced since the coup.
