Myanmar freeing 46 prisoners, Suu Kyi wants more

India TV News  

Myanmar, Jun 3: Back from her triumphant tour of Europe, opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi stepped up calls Tuesday for the release of hundreds of political prisoners still behind bars. Suu Kyi's comments came in response to a state newspaper's report that President Thein Sein has granted amnesty to 46 prisoners who were expected to be freed from prisons later Tuesday. “However, we will continue to work for the release of all political prisoners.” Human Rights Watch says at least 659 political prisoners, many of them well known, have been released over the past year as part of Myanmar's startling series of reforms. “We will call for the release of all 330 political prisoners,” Suu Kyi, the country's most famous former political prisoner, said at a news conference.
