From the International News from Yangon, Myanmar, via earthlink comes this good news today, that political prisoner who was once a journalist then became an activist for liberty there, then was arrested and spent 19 years in prison, Win Tin was freed today. His only crime according to Reporters without Borders was wanting liberty for  Myanmar. This quote from that article:

"We are immensely relieved that he has finally been freed,
" Reporters Without Borders said in a statement. "It is unacceptable
that he was made to serve 19 years in prison for peacefully
 advocating democracy
 but today his release is an historic moment." Quote from article:

I am always glad when Reporters are freed. It is a dangerous profession for certain and Reporters Without Borders knows that and so does any one in any country that tries to be a citizen activist for anything! Bucking the status quo has risks. If you don't think so, then read about JESUS, THE GODHEAD in the flesh who was crucified for bucking the organized religions of HIS time.  I have often published my documentation of ways I was persecuted for bucking the establishment of killing-on-demand-of-innocents-in-the-womb and I learned much compassion for anyone who tries to make force the discussion of any so-called political issue. However my efforts to end abortion are based upon my religious beliefs that GOD is Sovereign and HE wrote in stone the words, 'thou shalt not kill' . [Exodus 20:13]
