Former Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been granted clemency on five charges by a court, state media reported.
However, Suu Kyi still faces 14 other charges against her. The media reports also confirmed that she would remain under house arrest.
The 78-year-old prominent political figure, who served as State Counsellor, the de-facto head of government, is still expected to serve a total of 27 years out of the 33 she was originally sentenced to.
Last week, Suu Kyi was moved from prison to house arrest in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw.
Meanwhile, the ousted president, Win Myint, still in custody since February 2021, has been pardoned in two cases.
Amnesty has been granted to 7,749 prisoners who saw their
prison sentences reduced ahead of
Buddhist Lent, a religious three-month ceremony, in which Buddhists dedicate their time to learning the teachings of the
Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. Its date varies (generally late July to October) since Buddhists follow the lunar calendar.
Suu Kyi was first put under house arrest in 1989, thereafter she emerged as a key political leader. However, in 1997, her activities were restricted. In 2000, she was again
put under house arrest till 2010.
In 1991, she won the Nobel Peace Prize for campaigning for democracy. She swept a 2015 national election, as well as in 2020.
In February 2021, Suu Kyi, along with top party politicians, were detained by the military just before the session of Parliament was to convene. She was convicted in multiple cases last year involving alleged violations of COVID-19 protocols, election fraud, as well as on incitement charges, and bribery counts.
