BANGKOK, Sept. 7 — The authorities in Myanmar, apparently bowing to bad publicity, released a political prisoner today whose leg was broken when he was arrested in the recent outbreak of antigovernment protests. His case had gained international attention when fellow prisoners staged a hunger strike calling for his freedom.
On Thursday, a delegation of military officers was briefly held hostage by Buddhist monks at a temple outside the main city of Yangon. The officers had reportedly gone there to apologize to the monks for treating them roughly during a demonstration the day before.
