Burma frees a further 73 political prisoners



The Burmese authorities say they are releasing another 73 political prisoners, after a promise by President Thein Sein to free all dissidents by the end of the year. Some are from the Kachin ethnic group, which has signed a peace deal after years of fighting for autonomy. via Pocket http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-23416223#sa-ns_mchannel=rss&ns_source=PublicRSS20-sa
