"We are enormously pleased that Myanmar has released our courageous reporters, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo," said a statement issued by Reuters Editor-in-Chief Stephen Adler. Chit Su Win, the wife of Kyaw Soe Oo, said she was waiting at home with their child to be reunited with her husband. The United Nations office in Myanmar said it welcomed the release of Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo.
