Myanmar court sentences two to death for Muslim lawyer’s murder 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseA Myanmar court Friday sentenced two people to death for the murder of a Muslim lawyer and Aung San Suu Kyi advisor, after a drawn-out trial backlit by allegations of impunity with a main suspect still at large. The brazen, daytime murder shocked the country and came about eight months after civilian leader Suu Kyi’s administration entered office. The clause was believed to be aimed at Suu Kyi, who had a family with a British academic. The case is one of many that have marred the international legacy of former dissident hero Suu Kyi, who was criticised for not going to his funeral.
