Aung San Suu Kyi facing 100 years in prison

Her father: National hero Aung San

SEOUL, South Korean (CBS) — Aung San Suu Kyi, the 76-year-old Nobel laureate who spent years under house arrest for advocating for democracy under the military dictatorship in her native Burma (Myanmar), was sentenced to four years in prison on Monday by the generals who toppled her civilian government almost a year ago.

The military junta seized power in February, arresting Suu Kyi and many other politicians and activists in the process. State television later reported her sentence for incitement was reduced to two years, but it's just a fraction of the time Suu Kyi is facing once the junta's courts have heard all the cases pending against her.

All of the charges were laid by the military commanders that deposed her and her democratically elected government in February. The overthrow led to huge street protests in Burma, and then violent repression by the army. More
