WAN welcomes release of Burmese journalist
The World Association of Newspapers on Tuesday 23 September welcomed the release from prison of U Win Tin, the longest serving political prisoner in Burma and the 2001 laureate of WAN's Golden Pen of Freedom prize. The ailing 79-year-old journalist and founding member of the National League of Democracy spent 19 years in prison. “We now call on the authorities to free all other journalists and human rights activists who are being unjustly held for their views," said Timothy Balding, the CEO of the Paris-based WAN.
