Myanmar’s president commutes death sentences, cuts Aung San Suu Kyi’s jail term
Min Aung Hlaing, leader of Myanmar’s junta and last week installed as the country’s “civilian president”, has issued a blanket order to commute all death sentences, and reduce all prison sentences under 40 years by one-sixth. The military junta resumed executions after ousting the since imprisoned Aung San Suu Kyi from power in a 2021 coup. Suu Kyi is serving a 27-year jail term and will also see her sentence reduced.
