Aung San Suu Kyi was sentenced to three years' jail and hard labour by a Myanmar court Tuesday, but the head of the ruling junta commuted the punishment to 18 months' house arrest, a minister said.
The court sentenced her on charges of breaching the terms of her house arrest after a bizarre incident in which an American man, John Yettaw, swam to her lakeside house in May, an AFP correspondent in court said.
But Home Affairs minister General Maung Oo said outside the court that military ruler Than Shwe had signed a special order suspending the sentence and ordered that Suu Kyi should spend 18 months under house arrest.

At least 50 supporters of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi were arrested on Tuesday in front of Insein Prison while they were waiting for the verdict from the trial, according to witnesses in Rangoon.
“I saw the authorities take 50 people away in a truck,” said an eye-witness, adding that several hundred supporters of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate had waited outside the prison all morning to hear the verdict.
A member of the National League for Democracy (NLD) in Rangoon, who was also waiting in front of Insein Prison, said, “The security forces are worried the crowd will grow and it turn into an uprising. That’s why they arrested those 50 people.”
Ten members of the NLD in Magwe and Pegu divisions were also arrested, according to sources within the NLD.
Five NLD members in Yenangyaung in Magway Division were arrested in their houses while preparing to go to a pagoda to pray for Suu Kyi.
In Pegu Division, five party members were arrested while praying at a pagoda for Suu Kyi.
Security was tightened around Insein Prison on Tuesday as crowds gathered for the verdict of Suu Kyi, her two companions Win Ma Ma and Khin Khin Win, and American intruder John W Yettaw.
Barbed wire roadblocks were set up, and armed riot police took up positions near the prison. Sources said trucks carrying riot police have been deployed around the prison and that more police trucks are patrolling the surrounding area.
Suu Kyi was handed down an 18-month suspended sentence to be served under house arrest while Yettaw received seven years for breaking immigration and security laws.
Suu Kyi has been detained for nearly 14 of the last 20 years, mostly under house arrest.
Meanwhile, a prominent Burmese labor rights activist, Su Su Nway, was transferred from Kalay Prison to Hkamti Prison in Sagaing Division on August 6, according to her sister, Htay Htay Kyi.
“I found out that she was transferred to Hkamti on Thursday. I asked the authorities at the prison why they transferred her. They responded that they weren’t authorized to discuss the matter,” Htay Htay Kyi said.
Su Su Nway was originally sentenced to 12 and a half years in prison for political activities.
Another NLD member, Kyaw Khaing, 87, who suffers from digestion difficulties, was transferred from Thandwe Prison in Arakan State to Thayet Prison. He was originally sentenced for two years for anti-government activities.
Two more members of the NLD in Rangoon were sentenced recently to two years in Insein Prison for protesting during Suu Kyi’s trial.
