Regime spokesperson Zaw Min Tun told media on Saturday that it had granted an amnesty to 600 prisoners who were jailed for causing incitement and spreading false news against the military under Sec. 505 (A) of the Penal Code. The pardon included the Kachin State Chief Minister Khet Aung, who was ousted from his position and jailed after the 2021 coup.
“Political prisoners from some prisons are not included in the amnesty. We confirmed the release of around 150 political prisoners as of Jan. 4. It is not difficult to trust what the regime said, so we are trying our best to get a detailed number and make sure whether what they said is correct,” Thaik Tun Oo, the spokesperson for the Political Prisoners Network Myanmar (PPNM), told DVB.
