Dozens of Myanmar fishermen released from prison in India
Over 100 Myanmar fishermen arrested in the Andaman Sea arrived at Yangon International Airport yesterday, after being imprisoned for years in India for fishing in its waters. “I have been jailed for over five years at Port Blair Prison,” said Ko Zaw Lin Aung, who grew up in Ayeyarwady Region. “I and 14 other fishermen were arrested by the Indian navy when we were fishing at the [India] sea. We had trouble in prison. My brother is still there – he has been jailed for seven years.”
