Myanmar state media: Aung San Suu Kyi shifted from prison to house arrest
Myanmar's ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been moved from prison to house arrest following recent amnesties granted by the military-run government since the 2021 coup.
Myanmar's state media reported that detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been transferred from Naypyitaw Prison to house arrest, marking a significant shift in her detention status. The move comes after a series of recent amnesties under the administration of Min Aung Hlaing, who was sworn in as president earlier this month. Suu Kyi's overall prison term was reduced by one-sixth as part of a broader amnesty announced on 17 April. However, this is the first time she has officially been granted house arrest since she was detained following the Myanmar coup d'état in 2021. No further details were immediately available regarding the conditions of her house arrest or whether additional measures could follow.
