据国家电视台周五报道，缅甸总统敏昂莱已批准对4335名囚犯实施特赦，这是过去六个月内的第三次此类举动。缅甸广播电视台（MRTV）在公告中未披露获释人员的具体名单。特赦通常发生在缅甸每年的1月独立日和4月新年期间。
报道称，在即将获释的4335名囚犯中包括179名外国人，他们将被驱逐出境。报道还提到，将死刑减为无期徒刑，将无期徒刑减为40年有期徒刑，并将其他囚犯的刑期缩减六分之一，但未作详细说明。
人权组织政治犯援助协会表示，自敏昂莱领导的军方于2021年针对民选政府发动政变以来，已有超过3万人因政治指控被拘留。被拘留者包括被罢免的前领导人昂山素季、前总统温敏、其领导的全国民主联盟党余部，以及成千上万的活动人士、示威者和反军方武装成员。
昂山素季目前正因煽动、贪腐、选举舞弊和违反国家机密法等一系列罪名服刑27年，其盟友称这些指控具有政治动机，旨在将其排除在政治舞台之外。现年80岁的昂山素季健康状况备受关注。
