Aung San Suu Kyi has been moved from prison to house arrest as a health measure "to protect them from heatstroke", the military govt said.

Myanmar's military has brought unprecedented coordination between anti-military forces that are mounting the biggest challenge to the army.

A coordinated offensive by insurgent groups battling the junta gathers pace in several parts of the country.

The pardons would mean a reduction in Aung San Suu Kyi's jail term of six years, junta spokesperson Zaw Min Tun said.

Zaw Min Tun said Myanmar has experienced sanctions before and will not face losses if there are new sanctions on their state-owned banks.

Russia is also a major supplier of weapons to the Myanmar military.

Katanya, Myanmar sedang berusaha melaksanakan lima konsensus pelan damai yang dipersetujui blok 10 negara itu tahun lalu.

The United Nations said Heyzer would "focus on addressing the deteriorating situation and immediate concerns".

Zaw said the men were given due process and insisted those executed were not democracy activists, but killers deserving of their punishment.

Suu Kyi has been detained since the military overthrew the democratically elected government last year.

Myanmar's military did not commit genocide against minority Rohingya Muslims during 2017 operations in Rakhine state, Zaw Min Tun said.

Martin Griffiths calls on Myanmar authorities to investigate the reported killing of at least 35 civilians.

The new cases could see Suu Kyi tied up in legal proceedings in three different cities.

Myanmar freed more than 2,000 detainees, among them journalists and others who were held on incitement charges for taking part in protests.

Min Tun said Suu Kyi had accepted illegal payments worth $600,000, as well as gold, while in government.
