Two former Radio Free Asia reporters, Oun Chhin and Yeang Sochea Meta, were released on bail after spending eight months in Prey Sar prison on espionage charges.

Detained Suu Kyi receives UK royal package: Myanmar govt

Myanmar's detained Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, received a package from Britain's King Charles III, which included two gardening books, a sealed envelope, and diplomatic communication.
The event marked the first release of images of Suu Kyi in two months and saw Myanmar authorities describe her as a "special female prisoner" for the first time.
Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
