A Myanmar court sentenced ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi to four years in prison for inciting dissent against the military and breaching Covid rules.
The ruling is first in a dozen cases Myanmar's military has brought against Suu Kyi.
The verdict in another case against her is expected next week.
Suu Kyi, 76, faces charges including incitement, violation of Covid-19 protocols and violation of the Official Secrets Act, which add up to combined maximum sentences of more than 100 years.
The incitement case involved statements posted on her party's Facebook page after she and other party leaders had already been detained by the military, while the coronavirus charge involved a campaign appearance ahead of elections in November last year which her party overwhelmingly won.
She has rejected all allegations, according to the CNN reports.
Suu Kyi's trials are closed to the media and spectators, and her lawyers, who had been the sole source of information on the proceedings, were served with gag orders in October forbidding them from releasing information.
Suu Kyi was detained as Myanmar's military took control of the country on February 1 this year.
