Britain's former ambassador to Myammar who had been jailed alongside her husband earlier this year, is one of 6,000 people set to be released in a mass so-called amnesty.
Vicky Bowman, who was the British ambassador in the secretive county between 2002 and 2006, was arrested and charged alongside husband Htein Lin when the couple were accused of violating immigration laws.
State-run media in the south-east Asian country said foreigner prisoners who were released would be deported, although it is not clear what has happened to Ms Bowman or her husband.
