Myanmar frees more than 2,000 prisoners held since military coup CNN 9 hrs ago Story by Reuters © AFP/Getty Images Relatives greet their loved ones who were released from the Insein prison in Yangon on June 30, following a surge in arrests of protesters since the February military coup. Myanmar freed more than 2,000 detainees on Wednesday, among them journalists and others who the ruling military said had been held on incitement charges for taking part in protests, local media reported. The release was described by some activists as a ploy by the ruling military to divert attention from an ongoing security crackdown. The army has been under pressure from Western countries and Myanmar s neighbours to release thousands of people detained during protests since it ousted the elected government of Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi on February 1.
