130 to 1260 people might still be behind bars, mainly because they were convicted under statutes not regarded by the government as political offenses.

Assistance Association for Political Prisoners Burma published a list of 1547 people (updated on January 12),

The National League for Democracy gave the authorities a list of 604 prisoners considered to be political detainees.

Home Minister Lt. Gen. Ko Ko said that the government was able to locate 430 people on that list.

287 (according AAPPB) to 302 (according to the Minister) were freed Friday 13,

“Pressure for progress on the remaining prisoners and other human rights concerns in Myanmar must not abate,” said Suzanne Nossel, Amnesty International USA's executive director. “The risk is that the restoration of ties between the two countries may be premature and could weaken the pressure to address critical areas of unfinished business in addressing serious human rights abuses in Myanmar.”
