YANGON - MYANMAR'S military regime plans to release about 11,000 prisoners ahead of November elections, enabling them to vote in the rare polls, officials said Sunday.
'We have plans to release some prisoners who are soon to complete their sentence,' an official told AFP on condition of anonymity. 'We will reduce their sentence and release them in the coming days so that they can vote on the election day'.

It was not clear if Myanmar's political prisoners, numbering over 2,200, would be included in the release, but a corrections department official said about 11,000 prisoners could be freed.
These included detainees whose sentences would already be over by polling day, as well as some early releases. 'The number could be more as we are still listing them,' he added, without saying when the releases would begin.
There are usually more than 50,000 convicted criminals in Myanmar's 43 prisons and 100 labour sites at any one time, as well as about 6,000 awaiting trial, according to the privately-owned but state-censored Myanmar Times.
The detention of political dissidents, including democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, has sparked condemnation from the international community and rights groups, who do not expect the upcoming election to be free or fair. Suu Kyi was barred from standing in this year's polls because she is a serving prisoner. -- AFP

စစ္အစိုးရက ႏိုဝင္ဘာ ၇ ရက္ေန႔ ေရြးေကာက္ပြဲ မတိုင္ခင္မွာ အက်ဥ္းသား ၁ ေသာင္း ၁ ေထာင္ လႊတ္ေပးမယ္လို႔ သိရပါတယ္။ ထံုးစံအတိုင္း ႏိုင္ငံေရး အက်ဥ္းသားေတြ ဘယ္ေလာက္ပါမယ္ ဆိုတာေတာ့ ခန္႔မွန္းရခက္ပါတယ္။

စစ္အစိုးရက အက်ဥ္းသား ၃ ေထာင္ေက်ာ္ရဲ႕ ျပစ္ဒဏ္ေတြကို ေလွ်ာ့ေပးမွာျဖစ္ၿပီး တျခား ၈ ေထာင္ေလာက္ကေတာ့ လႊတ္ရက္ ေစ့ေတာ့မွာမို႔လို႔ဆိုၿပီး ျမန္မာတိုင္းမ္ဂ်ာနယ္မွာ ေဖာ္ျပထားပါတယ္။
