On April 30, 2026, an official announcement was released from Naypyidaw stating that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, who served as the State Counsellor during the NLD government, has been moved from Naypyidaw Prison to house arrest.
The statement declared that the President—to mark Kasun Full Moon Buddha Day (falling on the full moon of Kasun, 1388 ME), out of humanitarian considerations, and as a gesture of the State's goodwill—has modified the remaining sentence for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
Under Section 541, Sub-section (1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, she has been transferred from Naypyidaw Prison to serve the remainder of her sentence at a designated residence.
