缅甸国家媒体说,当局释放了46名囚犯,以此作为促进“民族团结”的特赦的组成部分。
官方媒体缅甸新光报说,遵照吴登盛总统的政令,37名男子和九名女子星期二获释。报道还说,34名外国犯人被递解出境。
但是,缅甸新光报在报道中没有说明这些获释犯人中是否包括政治犯。目前缅甸当局还关押着数百名政治犯。
自从名义上的缅甸文官政府去年执政以来,已有数百名政治犯获释。
作为对缅甸实行改革措施的回应,西方国家开始放松对缅甸的制裁。但很多西方国家仍然把无条件释放所有政治犯作为与缅甸全面恢复关系的关键条件。
Burmese state media say 46 prisoners have been freed as part of a general amnesty aimed at promoting "national unity."
The state-run New Light of Myanmar says 37 men and nine women were freed Tuesday, under an order by President Thein Sein. It also says 34 foreign prisoners were deported.
But, it does not mention whether those released were among the hundreds of political prisoners still jailed by Burma's military-backed government.
Burma has released hundreds of political prisoners since a nominally civilian government came to power last year.
In response, many Western governments have begun relaxing sanctions against Burma. But the unconditional release of all remaining political prisoners remains a key condition for many to fully restore ties with Burma.
