The new government in Indonesia says five more political prisoners will be freed tomorrow Thursday following the release earlier this week of two of the country's most prominent prisoners -- the former member of parliament, Sri Bintang Pamungkas and the trade union leader, Mukhtar Pakpahan.

The Indonesian Justice Minister, Muladi, gave no names.

He was speaking after meeting a visiting official of the International Monetary Fund, Hubert Neiss.
