BANGKOK, July 29
Myanmar's youngest political prisoner released, AI says
Amnesty International said Thursday Myanmar's youngest political
prisoner, a 3-year-old girl recently imprisoned by the country's
ruling junta, has been released.
Thaint Wunna Khin, the girl, is one of 19 people arrested
between July 19 and 24 in the central city Pegu, 80 kilometers (49.7
miles) north of Yangon. All were detained on suspicion of planning a
July 19 march to commemorate the 52nd anniversary of Gen. Aung San's
assassination.
