BANGKOK—Burma (also known as Myanmar)’s jailed former leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been moved from prison to house arrest as a health measure due to a heat wave, the military government said as it freed more than 3,000 prisoners under an amnesty to mark this week’s traditional New Year holiday.
Those released included several political prisoners, including a member of the Kachin minority who is one of the country’s most prominent Christian church leaders.
