Deposed Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi faces a possible 15 years in prison on Monday when a court in the military-ruled country is scheduled to deliver a verdict in the first of multiple corruption cases against her.

.

Since being forced from power in a coup last year, Nobel laureate Suu Kyi has been charged with offences ranging from incitement and graft to violations of electoral and state secrets laws, which carry combined maximum sentences of more than 150 years.

.

She has been found guilty of two lesser offences so far and sentenced to six years, in a series of trials that could last years, leaving little chance for a political comeback for the figurehead of the country’s struggle against dictatorship.
