BANGKOK/YANGON -- Top officials in military-ruled Myanmar said Monday night that the four-year prison sentence handed down to Aung San Suu Kyi that day will be halved to two years after a partial pardon by military leader Min Aung Hlaing.
A court had sentenced Suu Kyi to four years for incitement against the military and violating COVID-19 restrictions. She will remain under house arrest at a government facility in Naypyitaw, the country's capital, rather than jailed, authorities said.
