About 400 Myanmar citizens are still in a prison at Indian’s Port Blair naval base, most of whom are workers in the fishing industry, said an official from Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Myanmar fishermen have been jailed for a variety of reasons, though 249 of them will be released on May 31 and June 2. They are to be released after they have served their prison terms.
“More than 20 people have been released from the prison, but authorities are still checking their citizenship status,” said Sein Oo, director general of the Consular and Legal Affairs Department under the ministry. (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
