Myanmar on Thursday freed from jail more than a dozen students detained this week in a violent crackdown in which riot police beat protesters with batons and arrested 127 people after a lengthy standoff. Tuesday's crackdown in the town of Letpadan, about 140 km north of Yangon, followed a standoff of more than a week with security forces who blocked the students from marching to the commercial capital to protest against an education bill they said would stifle academic freedom. An anonymous district official said at least 14 students were freed from a prison in Letpadan on Thursday and the government plans to release a total of 27.
