"I CAN'T WAIT to go to my newsroom," Wa Lone told a crowd of reporters as he walked free from Insein prison in Yangon, Myanmar's biggest city. Mr Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, who work for Reuters news agency, were released on May 7th. The pair were convicted in 2018 of breaking the Official Secrets Act and received a seven-year sentence. They had served 511 days before being released as part of an amnesty for more than 6,000 prisoners to mark Buddhist New Year.
