After family feud, Myanmar court orders auction of home where Suu Kyi spent 15 years’ house arrest

Associated Press  

BANGKOK — A court in military-controlled Myanmar on Thursday ordered the family home of ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi, where she spent 15 years under house arrest, put on auction in March following a bitter decades-long legal dispute between her and her brother. The decision by a district court in Yangon, the country’s largest city, came nearly 1 1/2 years after the Supreme Court upheld a special appeal lodged by Suu Kyi’s estranged older brother, Aung San Oo, granting him half ownership of the family property that the siblings inherited in Yangon. Aung San Oo considered the decision unfair and appealed unsuccessfully multiple times for the court to have the property sold by auction and the proceeds split between him and Suu Kyi. The Supreme Court agreed to allow his special appeal and decided in August 2022 -- after the army’s seizure of power from Suu Kyi’s elected government — to have the property sold by auction.
