The Burmese military government announced that the sentences of hundreds of prisoners will be commuted, a custom of holidays in the Asian country. However, it is not known whether the deposed Aung San Suu Kyi’s economic adviser has been released. For her part, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning leader is not on the pardoned list and the cases against her remain.
This Saturday, in a parade in Naypyidaw, the Myanmar Military Junta announced that more than 800 prisoners will be released by an amnesty due to the celebration of Union Day, which marks independence from the British colonial yoke in 1947. However, it was clarified that, if they reoffend in criminal actions, they must serve this time that was commuted to them.
Traditionally, prisoners are pardoned on major holidays in Burmese territory. The Board had released around 23,000 people in April 2021, an identical number to those who were acquitted by Union Day last year.
Leader Min Aung Hlaing, who led the announcement during the parade in which the Junta flaunted its military force, did not clarify the situation of Sean Turner, the economic adviser to the deposed Aung San Suu Kyi, who was detained for more than one year for breaking the Official Secrets Act and faces a maximum sentence of fourteen years in prison. In recent days, the Cambodian Prime Minister mistakenly announced that he had been released, causing confusion.
The Committee of Nationalities of General Strike, one of the main groups carrying out the protests, communicated through Facebook that the political prisoners who remain in the Insein prison began a hunger strike this Saturday, although the precise number of prisoners is unknown. prisoners who adopted this measure.
At the event, Min Aung Hlaing spoke out against the resistance to the new regime that exists in the country: “Violence is causing chaos and people are suffering,” he said at the ceremony.
In addition, he reaffirmed the need to “protect the country from enemies”, both national and international, and again assured that he took power because the National League for Democracy won the elections fraudulently, according to his version.
According to local media reports, the Board spent approximately five million dollars on a celebration that included the military parade of most of the state delegations, including those experiencing tension due to ethnic and anti-militarist armed conflicts.
Since the Military Junta seized power in Myanmar, the economic progress and democratic reforms of the last decade have stalled, leading to a crisis of violence that has given rise to civilian militias. Meanwhile, 12,000 political opponents have been arrested, including Suu Kyi, who faces dozens of corruption charges that could mean more than 100 years in prison.
While the security forces have murdered 1,547 people who opposed the military assumption, according to a record of the Association for Aid to Political Prisoners (AAPP). For its part, the board discredits the AAPP figures: it treats them as exaggerated and alleges that several soldiers also lost their lives.
