SEAN TURNELL RETURNS HOME

Sean Turnell returned to Australia on Friday 18th November 2022, after he was released as part of a mass amnesty granted by the Myanmar military.

We are relieved that Sean has come home after 650 days in prison and send our best wishes to him and his family.

While we welcome this announcement, we condemn the coup and express solidarity with the over 12,000 people still in detention in Myanmar (Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma)).
