Activist Tin Maung Kyi was released 13 days early on 29 March 2019 after serving six months and two days in prison. He was imprisoned for staging a solo protest calling on the international community to arrest senior Myanmar generals.
Tin Maung Kyi should have never been imprisoned for peacefully exercising his rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly and Amnesty International continues to campaign for the release of all prisoners of conscience.
NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUESTED FROM THE NETWORK. MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO SENT APPEALS.
