Burmese junta announces pardon for former leader Aung San Suu Kyi

The Burmese junta announced on Tuesday a pardon for the former democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi, detained since the coup d'état on February 1, 2021 and who is facing sentences that add up to 33 years in prison.

The military regime released the news in a letter, a day after announcing the extension of the state of emergency in Burma for another six months, which nullifies the possibility of holding elections this year.
