An Australian adviser to deposed Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi, returned home on Friday, Australia's foreign minister said, a day he was released from detention by the Southeast Asian nation's military junta in a mass amnesty.
The plane carrying Sean Turnell, an economist who had worked with the Nobel Peace laureate, touched down in Melbourne just before noon on Friday, according to state broadcaster ABC. Turnell travelled from Myanmar to Bangkok before boarding an overnight flight to Australia.
