Myanmar President Min Aung Hlaing has reduced all prisoners' sentences by one-sixth, a blanket measure that grants deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi's sentence an additional reduction. This comes after she was granted two amnesties this month. The president, who was military chief before becoming civilian president, had already granted a similar sentence reduction in an amnesty for 4,335 prisoners earlier in the month. Suukyi has been imprisoned since 2021, serving a 33-year sentence later reduced to 27, on charges her allies describe as politically motivated. The United Nations human rights office has stated that large segments of the population, including minorities such as ethnic Muslim-majority Rohingya, were excluded from voting since they have been denied citizenship.
