Myanmar has received the first 62 returnees at Nga Khu Ya reception camp in Rakhine state, who had fled to Bangladesh due to the Rakhine conflict, Xinhua reported quoting a statement from the State Counselor's Office Sunday.
The returnees include 58 persons pardoned by the President and four lifted from prosecution.
They had first returned by their own arrangement, ignoring official procedures, and had been arrested by the Myanmar authorities earlier.
Pardoned by the president, they were brought to the reception camp on Saturday, the report said.
