Partial Pardon Granted to Myanmar's Democracy Champion Aung San Suu Kyi

Myanmar's ruling military has granted a partial pardon to former leader Aung San Suu Kyi, reducing her 33-year jail term by six years. However, she will remain under house arrest. The military also reduced the jail term of former president Win Myint by four years. The pardons were part of a larger amnesty that saw over 7,000 prisoners freed across the country. Suu Kyi, who was detained during the coup earlier this year, denies all charges against her. Critics view the pardons as a cosmetic move by the military to alleviate international pressure.
