Mawlamyine, August (31)
Dr. Aye Zan, the Mon State Chief Minister who was sentenced to 25 years in prison, appeared in court on August 30 for two cases under Section 171(f) of the Penal Code, which the coup council prosecuted again, according to the sources close to the court.
The Union Supreme Court decided to dismiss the entire case on June 29 because those two cases did not have permission from the prosecution organization.
But the military council applied for permission from the prosecuting organization for those two cases and prosecuted again.
The Prime Minister, Dr. Aye Zan, was put on trial in the special court at the Kyaikmaraw Prison for those two cases.
The Chief Minister Dr. Aye Zan’s lawyer group applied for power of attorney in the trial, and the next hearing has been scheduled for September 6.
The sources close to the court said Dr. Aye Zan was in good physical condition.
After the military coup, Chief Minister Dr. Aye Zan was sentenced to 25 years in prison: 21 years for nine counts of corruption, two years under section 505 (a) and another two years under section 130 (a).
