The campaign to improve conditions in prison is part of the human rights struggle.

What we do:

• Assist families of political prisoners to visit their loved ones.
• Support prisoners by providing necessities such as food and medicine.
• Monitor conditions in prisons.
• Publicize arrests, conditions and life stories of imprisoned political activists and artists.
• Advocate in accordance with international bodies, provide information to Amnesty International, International Committee of the Red Cross, Human Rights Watch and so on.
• Assist former political prisoners with their mental and physical rehabilitation from torture and isolation.

Objectives

• To report on the military regime’s oppression of political prisoners who are presently detained in various prisons.
• To encourage the support of international governments and organiza- tions in order to pressure the Burmese military regime to prevent the fur - ther persecution of political prisoners.
• To secure fundamental human rights for political prisoners, and to provide them with basic necessities such as food and medicine.
• To protect the political prisoners upon their release from prison from harassment and intimidation by the military regime, including when they are looking for employment, continuing their studies, associating with friends and colleagues, and especially to protect them from persecution if their political activities are resumed.
• To aid in the reconstruction of the ex-political prisoners’ lives, includ- ing both their mental and physical well-being.
