Summary:

Addresses issues related to political prisoners in Burma, in light of 2011 installation of Union Government and undertaking of initial reforms that raise prospects for resumption of democratically elected civilian government in Burma after five decades of military rule. Defines political prisoners; estimates number of political prisoners in Burma; covers Jan. 13, 2012, prisoner releases; and discusses how release of political prisoners has potentially important implications for future parliamentary elections and prospects for national reconciliation.
