Myanmar politicians freed

At least three members of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi's political party were among the more than 6300 prisoners released by Myanmar's junta as part of a government amnesty, a party spokesman said.

Among those freed from prisons around the country was Zaw Myint Maung, a legislator who was serving a 20-year sentence, National League for Democracy spokesman Nyan Win said.

Two other township committee leaders from the NLD - Pe Thein and Thet Wai - also were released.
