“It was big news for me. After so many years I finally have my freedom, I am a free man right now,” he told the Guardian. Miah said he wanted to thank his lawyers, as well as authorities involved in his release, and said he hoped to be able to meet his supporters and celebrate with friends. “It will also be great to be able to go for a swim,” he said.
