Prisoner of conscience in Myanmar, released after 19 years in jail.

U Win Tin, Amnesty International's longest serving prisoner of conscience in Myanmar, has been released after spending 19 years of his life in jail.

While we celebrate the release of U Win Tin and six other political prisoners, there is still a long way to go.

Approximately 2,000 political prisoners remain in jails in Myanmar, and there are tens of thousands more in other countries. Support Amnesty International with a donation. Help draw the world’s attention to the plight of these prisoners, and strengthen pressure on regimes that are denying their human rights.
