After leaving prison, freed Reuters journalist Wa Lone said he was 'excited to see my family and colleagues. And I can't wait to go to my newsroom.' Two Reuters journalists jailed in Myanmar have been freed after more than 500 days:
Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo walked free Tuesday from Yangon's Insein jail, amid a gaggle of reporters, just weeks after their final appeal was quashed. The pair, who received this year's Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting, have been locked up since December 2017, when they were charged under the country's colonial-era Official Secrets Act for allegedly disseminating secret information sensitive to national security.
Ann WangReuters Editor-in-Chief Stephen Adler described the two men as"courageous reporters" and"symbols of the importance of press freedom around the world," adding that both he and the organization"welcomed their return.
