Burma activist freed from jail after 19 years vows to fight on
One of Burma's most prominent political detainees, U Win Tin, was freed from jail yesterday after 19 years' imprisonment, and vowed to continue the fight for democracy in the country.
The ailing journalist, one of Burma's longest-serving political detainees, was one of the founders of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD).
All they need to do now is release the other 99% of political prisoners...
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
