Bangkok: A Myanmar court has convicted Australian economist Sean Turnell to three years in prison for violating the country’s secrets law.

The court in military-ruled Myanmar also convicted former leader Aung San Suu Kyi in another criminal case, a legal official said.

Suu Kyi received a three-year sentence after being tried and convicted with Turnell under the secrets act, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorised to release information about the case.
