BY A STAFF REPORTER: A court in military-ruled Myanmar has sentenced the country's deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi to a further seven years in jail after convicting her on additional corruption charges. The ruling extends her prison sentence to 33 years. Suu Kyi, 77, was sentenced in a court session held behind closed doors. The Nobel laureate was previously sentenced to 26 years in prison after being found guilty of several offences, all of which she has denied.
