UPDATE 12 October 2011: At least 120 political prisoners released, including Zarganar
Since late 2007, some 2,000 people have been imprisoned on political grounds in Burma, about half of them because of their peaceful participation in that year’s “Saffron Revolution. Among the prisoners of conscience released are comedian Zarganar, imprisoned in June 2008 for his humanitarian efforts in the wake of Cyclone Nargis, and Zaw Htet Ko Ko, a member of the 88 Generation Student Group who was jailed in October 2007.
