(Worthy News) – Three Kachin Baptist pastors detained for organizing prayers for peace are among more than 5,000 inmates freed in Myanmar, also known as Burma, church sources say.
The trio from the Kachin Baptist Convention denomination gained their freedom October 18 under an amnesty given by the country’s military rulers to 5,600 political prisoners.
Among them was a 70-year-old who had health problems with high blood pressure, Worthy News learned.
