The junta announced it had granted amnesty to over 7,300 people imprisoned under various sections of the Counter-Terrorism Law and had closed more than 9,000 cases involving over 12,000 accused still undergoing trial under the law.

On March 2, Peasants' Day, the junta announced it had granted amnesty to 7,337 men and women serving sentences under Sections 50(J) and 52(A) of the Counter-Terrorism Law and had closed ongoing cases against 12,487 individuals under the same charges.

The junta announced the amnesty was granted to restore public calm and demonstrate its commitment to humanity. It also warned that anyone who reoffends after benefiting from the amnesty will face the new punishment in addition to the reduced sentence.

The junta closed 9,532 cases involving people charged under Sections 50(J) and 52(A) who had not yet been sentenced, as well as cases under Section 512 against those who had fled instead of submitting to arrest.

The junta also announced that 10 foreign inmates, both men and women, had been granted amnesty and subsequently deported.

Furthermore, the military regime reduced the remaining prison terms by one-sixth for eligible prisoners convicted of certain charges, including murder, rape, illegal possession of explosives, drug offenses, terrorism, and corruption.
