Aung San Suu Kyi has some of her prison sentences reduced by Myanmar’s military-led government

Associated Press  

BANGKOK — Myanmar’s military-led government reduced the prison sentences of ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi in a clemency connected to a religious holiday in the Buddhist-majority country, state media said Tuesday. The head of Myanmar’s military council, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, granted the clemency order to reduce the sentences Suu Kyi received in five cases in which she was convicted for violating coronavirus restrictions, illegally importing and possessing walkie-talkies and sedition, according to a report on state MRTV. The military’s True News Information Team sent video footage to journalists in which the spokesperson for the ruling military council, Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun, tells reporters he had not received any information about reports saying Suu Kyi already was transferred from prison to a residence in Myanmar’s capital, Naypyitaw. The justice ministry of the shadow National Unity Government, which views itself as the country’s legitimate administrative body, called on the country’s military rulers to immediately release all detained political prisoners including Suu Kyi, saying they were unjustly arrested and sentenced.
