Myanmar moves former leader Aung San Suu Kyi to house arrest and pardons 3,300 prisoners | BBC News
The military government in Myanmar has said it has pardoned 3,300 prisoners and has moved the country's former leader Aung San Suu Kyi from prison to house arrest.
State media, quoting a spokesman for the junta, said extremely hot weather had caused Miss Suu Kyi and other elderly prisoners to be relocated as a precaution against heat stroke.
The Nobel laureate, Suu Kyi, has been in jail since she was ousted in a coup in 2021.
This news comes a week after the military suffered a significant defeat, losing control of the main border crossing into Thailand, as it continues to face a shortage of soldiers.

The family of Aung San Suu Kyi have received their first communication from the former leader of Myanmar since she was removed from power three years ago.
The handwritten letter, her son Kim Aris says, is the first confirmation they have received that the 78-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner is alive.

Aung San Suu Kyi: How a peace icon ended up at a genocide trial - BBC News
Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi used to be seen as a symbol of human rights, and spent years under house arrest for promoting democracy.
Now, as Myanmar's civilian leader, she is at the International Court of Justice to defend her country against charges of genocide committed against the Rohingya Muslim minority. She will, in fact, be defending the very people who had previously imprisoned her - the military.
How did this peace icon wind up in the dock?

Myanmar’s former leader Aung San Suu Kyi jailed for a further seven years – BBC News
A Myanmar military court has sentenced Aung San Suu Kyi to a further seven years in prison, taking her overall jail time to 33 years.
The country's former democratically-elected leader has been under house arrest since a military ousted her government in a coup in February 2021.
Since then, she's faced 18 months of trials on 19 charges - which rights groups have said are a sham.
The UN Security Council called for her release last week.

Aung San Suu Kyi: 'There is no rule of law' | Talk to Al Jazeera
Myanmar is a country in transition. After years of unforgiving military rule its borders are beginning to open to outside scrutiny.
The march to freedom is being led by Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace laureate and chairperson of the opposition National League for Democracy.
She had returned to Burma in 1988 after years of living abroad, only to encounter a violent military dictatorship. She became the loudest voice calling for democracy and human rights.
It did not take the military junta long to recognise the threat she posed to them, and in 1989, the military government, which had renamed the country Myanmar, placed her under house arrest.

Born on June 19th, 1945, in what was then Rangoon, Burma, Aung San Suu Kyi was destined to be defiant from the start.
Her father was none other than Aung San -- the former military general who negotiated Burma’s independence from the British in 1947. He became known as a national hero, and the founder of modern-day Myanmar, which was then known as Burma.
But in 1947, when Suu Kyi was just 2 years old, everything changed. Her father was assassinated by a rival politician.
She went on to graduate from high school in 1964, and then studied with the global elite at Oxford University. There she met her to-be husband. Years later they settled in the United Kingdom, where they had two sons.
During this time, Suu Kyi continued to watch as her country was sinking further into dictatorship.
After nationwide protests against the one-party rule and the military dictatorship culminated in what later became known as the 8/8/88 Uprising protesters were in search of a leader. They looked to the then 43-year-old Suu Kyi to fill the shoes of her father -- as a fighter for Burmese democracy.
And that’s exactly what she did.
But what was her journey to leadership and what would she do once she achieved her goal? And what would her leadership mean for the Rohingya in Rakhine state and the alleged ethnic cleansing was taking place in Myanmar?

Myanmar is a country in transition. After years of unforgiving military rule its borders are beginning to open to outside scrutiny.
The march to freedom is being led by Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace laureate and chairperson of the opposition National League for Democracy.
She had returned to Burma in 1988 after years of living abroad, only to encounter a violent military dictatorship. She became the loudest voice calling for democracy and human rights.
It did not take the military junta long to recognise the threat she posed to them, and in 1989, the military government, which had renamed the country Myanmar, placed her under house arrest.
Aung San Suu Kyi spent the next 15 years in custody.
In 1991, her determination to win democracy was rewarded with the Nobel Peace Prize. But today, as she makes the transition from activist to full-time politician pursuing her goal of being president, Aung San Suu Kyi faces many challenges, including the fate of the Rohingya people.
Described by the UN as being amongst the most persecuted communities in the world, the Rohingya saw more than 125,000 people internally displaced in 2012. The Rakhine state is one of the most impoverished of Myanmar, and the waves of violence in the region have worsened conditions.
Aung San Suu Kyi has, however, been criticised for failing to speak out strongly in their defence.
Asked how she would describe what is happening there, she says, "I don't know what is happening there, but what has always concerned me from the very beginning and I have talked about it often, but nobody seems to be really interested in it, is the lack of rule of law. I have always said that the first step we must take is to establish rule of law, that both communities may feel safe, and then we can progress towards a situation where we can talk over the problems and try to find lasting solutions. But when there is no rule of law and people are in fear of their life and their security, it is very difficult for them to be able to sit down and talk things over."
Aung San Suu Kyi says she cannot decide what is done in the Rakhine state.
"I'm not part of the government .... I cannot say why there is no rule of law, but it is not for me to establish rule of law, I don't have the authority. People forget that even as an opposition leader I am the leader of 44 MPs in a legislature of over 600, and yet they expect me to be able to do the things that only government really has the right or authority to do ... I think this is the price you pay when you have received so much support and sympathy from the world all over, that they would expect you to live up to certain expectations, but I have never claimed that I could do everything I wanted in Burma," she says.
She is close to realising her lifetime ambition of leading her country. But what is her vision for her country?
On Talk to Al Jazeera, we ask if can she navigate her way to power past the generals, some of whom may have taken off their uniforms, but others still wielding ultimate control.

"I'm not part of the government .... I cannot say why there is no rule of law, but it is not for me to establish rule of law, I don't have the authority. People forget that even as an opposition leader I am the leader of 44 MPs in a legislature of over 600, and yet they expect me to be able to do the things that only government really has the right or authority to do ... I think this is the price you pay when you have received so much support and sympathy from the world all over, that they would expect you to live up to certain expectations, but I have never claimed that I could do everything I wanted in Burma," she says.
She is close to realising her lifetime ambition of leading her country. But what is her vision for her country?
On Talk to Al Jazeera, we ask if can she navigate her way to power past the generals, some of whom may have taken off their uniforms, but others still wielding ultimate control.

Aung San Suu Kyi: 'There is no rule of law' | Talk to Al Jazeera
Myanmar is a country in transition. After years of unforgiving military rule its borders are beginning to open to outside scrutiny.
The march to freedom is being led by Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace laureate and chairperson of the opposition National League for Democracy.
She had returned to Burma in 1988 after years of living abroad, only to encounter a violent military dictatorship. She became the loudest voice calling for democracy and human rights.
It did not take the military junta long to recognise the threat she posed to them, and in 1989, the military government, which had renamed the country Myanmar, placed her under house arrest.
Aung San Suu Kyi spent the next 15 years in custody.
In 1991, her determination to win democracy was rewarded with the Nobel Peace Prize. But today...

Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi: 'Defending the indefensible' | UpFront (Special Interview)
This week Myanmar’s de-facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi appeared at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Hague to defend her country against accusations of genocide, in a lawsuit brought by the Gambia.
The Nobel Peace laureate rejected the allegations that Myanmar’s military, that for 15 years kept her under house arrest, committed genocide against the Rohingya Muslim minority in her country as “incomplete and misleading”.
Burmese Human Rights Campaigner Maung Zarni has lived in exile for more than 20 years and was one of the first people to accuse Myanmar of genocide. He believes Suu Kyi is “defending the indefensible” and wants to see her in the dock at the International Criminal Court.

🇲🇲 Aung San Suu Kyi ‘doesn’t fully understand Rohingya horror’
Britain's foreign secretary says Myanmar's leader is not fully aware of what he called "the horror" in northern Rakhine state.
Boris Johnson visited Muslim villages there, as well as refugee camps in Bangladesh.
They are housing some of the 700,000 people who fled a military crackdown the UN says may be a genocide.

Myanmar is a country in transition. After years of unforgiving military rule its borders are beginning to open to outside scrutiny.
The march to freedom is being led by Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace laureate and chairperson of the opposition National League for Democracy.

It did not take the military junta long to recognise the threat she posed to them, and in 1989, the military government, which had renamed the country Myanmar, placed her under house arrest.
Aung San Suu Kyi spent the next 15 years in custody.
In 1991, her determination to win democracy was rewarded with the Nobel Peace Prize. But today, as she makes the transition from activist to full-time politician pursuing her goal of being president, Aung San Suu Kyi faces many challenges, including the fate of the Rohingya people.
Described by the UN as being amongst the most persecuted communities in the world, the Rohingya saw more than 125,000 people internally displaced in 2012. The Rakhine state is one of the most impoverished of Myanmar, and the waves of violence in the region have worsened conditions.
Aung San Suu Kyi has, however, been criticised for failing to speak out strongly in their defence.
Asked how she would describe what is happening there, she says, "I don't know what is happening there, but what has always concerned me from the very beginning and I have talked about it often, but nobody seems to be really interested in it, is the lack of rule of law. I have always said that the first step we must take is to establish rule of law, that both communities may feel safe, and then we can progress towards a situation where we can talk over the problems and try to find lasting solutions. But when there is no rule of law and people are in fear of their life and their security, it is very difficult for them to be able to sit down and talk things over."
Aung San Suu Kyi says she cannot decide what is done in the Rakhine state.

Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi: 'Defending the indefensible' | UpFront (Special Interview)

This week Myanmar’s de-facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi appeared at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Hague to defend her country against accusations of genocide, in a lawsuit brought by the Gambia.
The Nobel Peace laureate rejected the allegations that Myanmar’s military, that for 15 years kept her under house arrest, committed genocide against the Rohingya Muslim minority in her country as “incomplete and misleading”.
Burmese Human Rights Campaigner Maung Zarni has lived in exile for more than 20 years and was one of the first people to accuse Myanmar of genocide. He believes Suu Kyi is “defending the indefensible” and wants to see her in the dock at the International Criminal Court.
“She is not a puppet. She is proactively defending, passionately and defiantly defending the indefensible, she is fully culpable. She is criminally responsible,” Zarni said.
Myanmar’s 2017 military crackdown in Rakhine state has forced more than 700,000 people to flee and the UN estimates some 10,000 people have been killed. Rights groups, along with the UN, say the army has been involved in murder, mass rape and the razing of entire villages.
“Aung San Suu Kyi is not simply defending the Burmese military, which is only an organ of the state. Aung San Suu Kyi is there defending Myanmar as a member state and its racist society,” Zarni said.
Zarni said he was extremely saddened that Suu Kyi still has a lot of support inside the country; tens of thousands of people attended rallies in Myanmar as she departed for the Netherlands.
The ICJ tribunal has no enforcement powers, but Zarni believes this is a milestone in the struggle by Rohingya Muslims to gain recognition for the crimes they’ve been subjected to.
“Facts on the ground are not likely to change. However, this is one of the very, very few venues for pressure, accountability, and justice,” Zarni said.
This week’s Special Interview is Burmese rights campaigner Maung Zarni.

Britain's foreign secretary says Myanmar's leader is not fully aware of what he called "the horror" in northern Rakhine state.
Boris Johnson visited Muslim villages there, as well as refugee camps in Bangladesh.
They are housing some of the 700,000 people who fled a military crackdown the UN says may be a genocide.
Al Jazeera's Paul Chaderjian reports.
