Almost 7,000 prisoners have been pardoned in Mynmar,Thursday, including over 150 Chinese nationals who were this month given life sentences for illegal logging on Myanmar’s side of the border.
A statement on the Information Ministry’s Facebook page said the prisoners were being freed for "humanitarian" reasons and for national reconciliation. It added that there were 210 foreigners among the 6966 released.
President Thein Sein has earned international praise for releasing political prisoners since he began reforms in 2011, but Thursday’s amnesty appears to largely benefit ordinary criminals.
