Myanmar's military government has released more than 6,000 prisoners and reduced other inmates' sentences as part of a mass amnesty marking the 77th anniversary of independence from Britain. The freed inmates included just a small proportion of hundreds of political detainees locked up for opposing army rule since the military seized power in February 2021 from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi.
The article from MSN discusses Myanmar's military government's decision to release over 9,600 prisoners as a gesture to mark the country's 76th Independence Day on January 4, 2024. This act of clemency, announced by the military-controlled media, includes both amnesties and sentence commutations. However, it remains unclear whether this release includes political prisoners or those detained in relation to the ongoing civil unrest following the 2021 coup. The release is part of a tradition where Myanmar's leaders often grant amnesties on significant national holidays. This move comes amidst international pressure to address human rights abuses and the ongoing conflict within the country.
