Two Australians who were detained in Myanmar late last month have been released and allowed to leave the Southeast Asian country without charge. In a statement on Monday, a spokesperson for the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade welcomed the couple’s release and said Australian officials had “provided consular assistance” to the couple during their detention and release. Matthew O’Kane and Christa Avery departed Yangon, Myanmar’s largest city, on Sunday, the statement said. The pair – who ran a bespoke consultancy business in Myanmar – were put under house arrest after trying to leave the country on a relief flight in March.
