Suu Kyi faced a maximum five-year sentence for violating the terms of her house arrest by harbouring uninvited American John Yettaw, who swam to her lakeside home on May 4 and stayed for two days.
Suu Kyi has been confined for 14 of the past 20 years, ever since the military regime refused to recognise her National League for Democracy’s landslide victory in the last elections held in 1990.
