缅甸释放并驱逐了一位缅甸裔美国民主活动人士。该活动人士之前被缅甸以欺诈和伪造文书罪逮捕入狱。
民主活动人士觉梭伦星期四抵达泰国曼谷。觉梭伦对美国之音的缅甸语部说，他很高兴获得自由。但是他说，他没有尽情庆祝，因为他的朋友和家人仍在狱中。觉梭伦去年九月抵达缅甸探望他患病的母亲后被拘押。他的母亲因政治活动被捕入狱。
缅甸法庭上个月判处觉梭伦三年监禁。他被控犯违反移民法，持有伪造身份证以及携带未申报外国货币。缅甸军政府没有说为什么释放他。
Burma has released and deported a Burmese-American activist jailed on fraud and forgery charges.
Kyaw Zaw Lwin arrived in Bangkok, Thailand Thursday. The pro-democracy activist -- commonly known as Nyi Nyi Aung -- told VOA's Burmese service he is happy to be free. But he said he is not fully celebrating because his friends and family are still in prison.Nyi Nyi Aung was detained last September after he arrived in Burma to visit his ailing mother, who is in prison for political activities.
A Burmese court sentenced Nyi Nyi Aung last month to three years in prison. He was charged with violating immigration laws, possessing a fake national identity card and carrying undeclared foreign currency.Burma's military government has not said why it freed him.
