Myanmar Releases Over 6,100 Prisoners on Independence Day
Myanmar's military government released over 6,100 prisoners and reduced sentences to mark the country's independence anniversary, but it remains unclear if political detainees like Aung San Suu Kyi were included. The move coincides with ongoing elections and widespread political unrest, with thousands of political prisoners still detained. The release is part of traditional holiday amnesties, but critics question its sincerity amid ongoing repression.
