Myanmar Grants Mass Amnesty with Release of Over 6,000 Prisoners on Independence Day

Credited from: SCMP

  • Myanmar's military government implemented a mass amnesty, releasing more than 6,000 prisoners to commemorate the country's 77th Independence Day.
  • The amnesty included only a small number of political detainees imprisoned for opposing military rule since the 2021 coup.
  • Among the released were around 600 individuals convicted under laws against spreading unrest or false news.
  • Foreigners, primarily Thais and Indonesians detained for various offenses, were also freed, though Aung San Suu Kyi remains imprisoned.
  • This release is part of a tradition observed on significant occasions in Myanmar, but the broader implications for political prisoners remain serious.
