Myanmar’s Supreme Court has declined to hear special appeals from the country’s ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi against her convictions in five cases of which the head of the military-installed government already pardoned her earlier this month, a legal official said Thursday. Despite the amnesty, Suu Kyi’s legal team is continuing with the appeal process to prove her innocence, the legal official said. The special appeals— which were rejected by the court in the capital Naypyitaw on Tuesday — include violating coronavirus restrictions, illegally importing and possessing walkie-talkies, as well as sedition, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity as he is not authorized to release information about the decision.
