YANGON--Myanmar has repealed a law that was used to jail critics of the former junta, state media said Wednesday.

Reformist President Thein Sein on Tuesday revoked legislation which banned protests against the “peaceful handover of power,” the Burmese-language Myanma Ahlin newspaper reported.

The law, which came into force in 1996, also banned protests against “the successful holding of the national convention” — the body which drafted Myanmar's controversial constitution in 2007 after 14 years of secretive talks. The president's order was set to be approved by parliament on Wednesday.
