Supporters of Min Ko Naing, founder of the pro-democracy movement 88 Generation Students Group, gather on the streets of Latt Padan township, about 110 miles (177km) north of Yangon January 14, 2012. Min Ko Naing, who was released from prison on Friday, stopped over in Latt Padan on his way back to Yangon to greet supporters. Myanmar freed at least 200 political prisoners on Friday in an amnesty that could embolden the opposition and put pressure on the West to lift sanctions as one of the world's most reclusive states opens up after half a century of authoritarian rule.
