YANGON, Myanmar (AP) - Myanmar's military government has released four more activists who were detained last May after holding prayer vigils for the release of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, a spokesman for her party said Friday.
Three members of the National League for Democracy and one former member of the party were released Thursday, along with a fifth protester who was arrested in April for demonstrating against economic hardship, the NLD's Nyan Win said in a telephone interview.
"With the release of five people on Thursday, five more who participated in prayer vigils, or who staged protests over economic hardship, remain under detention," Nyan Win said.
