duh...

interesting point is that the period was 6 months .............

the choice of increment has no meaningful effect in a country that has no justice system. clever perhaps. the illusion of hope and all. not her best pic shown above. i am afraid she cannot ever realisticly expect release. she is too powerful.

Have to agree,sad but true.

Perhaps a little concerned she might die?

Myanmar's former leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been moved from prison to house arrest, according to the country's military government.

Ms Suu Kyi's government was overthrown by a military coup in 2021 and she has been detained since then, facing 27 years in prison for crimes ranging from treason and bribery to violating telecommunications law.

Junta spokesperson Major General Zaw Min Tun said the 78-year-old had been moved "since the weather is extremely hot".

In comments reported by four media outlets, he added: "It is not only for Aung San Suu Kyi... for all those who need necessary precautions, especially elderly prisoners, we are working to protect them from heatstroke."

In February Ms Suu Kyi's son Kim Aris said she was being held in solitary confinement and her health was "not as good as it was in the past", although she was in good spirits.
