    Plus we can add “10 Thai citizens and a Filipino citizen,” who are not part of the count.

    Edit, update sounds like they were part of the count. The text is still

    10 Thai citizens and a Filipino citizen," were among those released Friday and were not a part of the truce agreement.

    But earlier in the article it says they are part of the count.
