Min Ko Naing, founder of the 88 Generation Students Group, who was released from prison on Friday, speaks to supporters in Tar Yar Waddi township, about 100 miles (160 km) north of Yangon, on his way back to Yangon on January 14, 2012. Myanmar freed at least 200 political prisoners on Friday in an amnesty that could embolden the opposition and put pressure on the West to lift sanctions as one of the world’s most reclusive states opens up after half a century of authoritarian rule.
