Aung San Suu Kyi's Sentence Cut

Suu Kyi, 80, was serving a 27-year sentence for various offenses her supporters say were politically motivated to exclude her from the political process.

While the reduction is a significant gesture, she remains in custody and her overall health remains a concern for international observers.

Former President Win Myint was fully pardoned and freed, marking his first time out of detention since the 2021 coup.

Human rights groups have dismissed the amnesty as a superficial attempt by the junta to gain legitimacy amid ongoing civil conflict.
