High-profile National League for Democracy (NLD) officials Dr. Myo Aung and Daw Moe Moe Su Kyi were released from prison on 2 March as part of a sweeping amnesty marking Peasants’ Day.

Family sources confirmed that Dr. Myo Aung, the former Mayor of Naypyidaw, and Daw Moe Moe Su Kyi, the former Minister of Immigration and Human Resources for the Yangon Region, were collected by relatives following the junta’s announcement of a mass pardon for over 10,000 inmates.

“Daw Moe Moe Su Kyi’s family is currently on their way to bring her home. Dr. Myo Aung has also been freed. His wife is on her way to collect him,” a source told Mizzima.
