Lawyers for Myanmar's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi appealed her 18-month house arrest to the high court Friday, while the nation's ruling junta decided amnesty to thousands of other prisoners.
The Yangon Divisional Court said it would proclaim its decision on October 2. Suu Kyi, 64, remains under home imprisonment and was not in court.
Meanwhile, the government said it was releasing 7,114 prisoners Friday from prison across the country for "good conduct and discipline."
In an unusual move, it invited press to witness and film the prisoner release at Yangon's Insein Prison, a maximum-security facility.
