Myanmar trims 2,082 names off its blacklist

Myanmar's government trimmed 2,082 names from its notorious blacklist, opening traveling privileges to roughly a third of the people officially barred from entering or leaving the country, an official said Aug. 28.

The move was the latest sign of change as President Thein Sein's government implements reforms after decades of harsh military rule. It came a day after he announced a sweeping Cabinet shake-up seen as an effort to remove hard-liners opposed to reform in the country.

State media reported Aug. 28 that the government had removed 2,082 names from its 6,165-person blacklist. "These relaxations are in line with the country's transformation," Presidential spokesman Nay Zin Latt said. (AP)
