Suu Kyi, 77, was arrested when the military seized power on Feb.
1 last year in a coup that ended a decade of tentative democracy
and plunged the country into chaos.
She is being held in an annex of a jail in Naypyitaw, with no
access to lawyers other than on trial days, after earlier being
kept under house arrest in an undisclosed location.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner, arguably Myanmar's most iconic
figure, has been convicted of multiple offences and sentenced to
at least 26 years in prison in the past 12 months in trials
dismissed by critics as stunts designed to keep the military's
biggest opponent at bay.
She has been found guilty of offences ranging from breaking
COVID-19 restrictions and illegally owning radio equipment to
incitement, breaches of a state secrets law and trying to
influence the country's election commission.
Suu Kyi has called the cases "absurd".
A spokesperson for the junta could not immediately be reached
for comment. The military has said Suu Kyi is being given due
process by an independent judiciary, noting the judge was
appointed by her administration.
The court is scheduled to rule in five corruption cases against
her, each carrying up to 15 years in prison, the source said on
Tuesday, declining to be identified because of the junta's
efforts to suppress information about her trials.
Suu Kyi's marathon court proceedings have taken place behind
closed doors, with only limited information reported by state
media and a gag order imposed on her lawyers.
It is unclear how much she knows of developments in Myanmar,
where the United Nations has accused the military of atrocities
against civilians, and a resistance movement and shadow
government have been fighting on multiple fronts to undermine
the junta's rule.
