Myanmar Grants Mass Sentence Reduction, Affecting Suu Kyi's Term

Myanmar's military junta has announced a large-scale reduction of prison sentences for thousands of inmates, including a partial commutation for ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The amnesty, which authorities say is aimed at easing overcrowding and marking a national holiday, trims Suu Kyi's sentence from 33 years to 27 years. However, she remains under house arrest and is barred from political activities. The move has drawn mixed reactions, with some viewing it as a token gesture while others see it as a small step toward reconciliation in the crisis-torn country.
