Myanmar's former leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been pardoned on five of the 19 offenses for which she was convicted and jailed for a total of 33 years, state media and an informed source reported on Tuesday.

The pardons would mean a reduction in her prison term of six years, junta spokesperson Zaw Min Tun told the Eleven Media Group.

The Nobel Laureate, who last week moved from prison to house arrest in the capital, Naypyitaw, has been in detention since the military seized power in a coup in early 2021.
