Burma’s military junta filed a new corruption charge against ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Thursday, its information ministry said, just days after the military reportedly burned down an entire village in the country’s northwest.
The corruption charge was filed against Suu Kyi for allegedly accepting four payments totaling $550,000 from a private firm in donations to Daw Khin Kyi, a charity foundation named after her mother, while she was still in power, according to the ministry’s statement.
