Aung San Suu Kyi's sentence was reduced to two years.

Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi was sentenced to four years by a Myanmar court, which has now been halved. He was accused of inciting dissent against the army and violating Kovid rules. On Monday, Myanmar's ruling government said that ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi was sentenced to four for spreading unrest and violating epidemic restrictions, according to state media. Instead, he would be jailed for two years. Former President Win Myint was also sentenced under the same charge and will now face two years in prison. The court initially sentenced Suu Kyi and Win to four years but later announced a reduced sentence. State media described it as a partial apology from Army Chief Min Aung Huling. Jaw Min Tun, a spokesman for Myanmar's junta, said on Monday that "other charges will be faced in the places where they are now living", a decision to be given on Tuesday last week but was postponed. This is the first decision since Suu Kyi's expulsion and arrest since a military coup on February 1. The Nobel laureate may also face many other charges. If convicted on all counts, he could end up in prison for the rest of his life. 

Corruption and criminal cases are also going on against Suu Kyi. Suu Kyi could face sentencing on several more charges early next week. If she is found guilty in all the cases, she can be sentenced to more than a hundred years. Condemnation of the decision This decision has been widely condemned across the world. "The harsh sentence handed down to Aung San Suu Kyi on these bogus charges is the latest example of the military's determination to end all protests in Myanmar and stifle independence," Amnesty International said in a statement on EU foreign policy. Its chief Josep Borrell called the decision "politically motivated". "The EU reiterates its demand for the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners as well as those who have been arbitrarily detained since the coup." What is the current situation in Myanmar? Anti-military protests erupted in Myanmar shortly after the overthrow of the democratic government. Months later, such demonstrations continue but have intensified due to military action. In this political crisis, some armed groups started their campaign, and army action was being taken to crush them. According to a local watchdog group, at least 1,200 people have been killed in various violent incidents since early February, while the military government has arrested more than 10,000 political activists.
