💨 Abstract

Myanmar's military government plans to release over 5,800 prisoners, including foreigners, in honor of the nation's independence day. The country has been in turmoil since early 2021, following a military coup and the suppression of pro-democracy protests. The junta has announced plans for elections this year, but these have been widely criticized as a sham.
