MYANMAR - The Myanmar Times Australian publisher released on bail

After a month behind bars at the notorious prison in Rangoon Insein, Ross Dunkley, editor and founder of the Myanmar Times, was freed March 29 after paying bail of 10 million kyat (8000 euros approximately), reported the Mizzima News website. If he is officially accused of having violated the immigration laws and of assault on a woman is, in the opinion of many, a power struggle at the head of the publication that has prompted his arrest.

His trial is announced for April 4.
