Aung San Suu Kyi given partial pardon by Myanmar junta
Ousted leader granted clemency on five charges as part of amnesty but faces a further 14 cases
Myanmar’s junta has pardoned Aung San Suu Kyi on five legal charges, military-controlled TV has announced, although the deposed leader still faces more than two decades in detention.
Aung San Suu Kyi has been detained by the military since 1 February 2021 when it ousted her democratically elected government. The 76-year-old has since been sentenced for multiple charges – including incitement, electoral fraud and corruption.
