SOS – For God Sake, Save the dying 189 Burmese political prisoners languishing in prisons in Burma


by- Zin Linn

Asian Tribune recently received reports about the political prisoners languishing in various Prison facilities Burma who are terminally ill. We learnt with alarm that those political prisoners, who are kept in remote prisons, very far away from their homes and relations, are the neglected lots and they need the help of the international community if they are to be saved from their grave illness and death.

Nearly 189 Burmese political prisoners in various prisons facilities in Burma are dying. Immediate attention of the international community is sought to speed up the release of theses dying political prisoners from hell-hole, in other words from these prisons and send them immediately to medical facilities to save them from the terminal diseases they are suffering at present.

Asian Tribune is receiving reports from various quarters about the incarceration and of the solitary confinement of hundreds of Prisoners in various jails in Myanmar. Numerous prisoners at present languishing in number of prisons are political activists and are members of National League for Democracy a political Party struggling inside and outside Myanmar for the restoration of democracy and people’s rule.

The Editorial Board of the Asian Tribune contacted reliable sources in Rangoon to confirm the positions of these prisoners. Earlier the woeful plight prisoners’ was highlighted in the article written by Zin Linn. Burma: The Return of an Outrageous Cry

Zin Linn a political activist was also a political prisoner. In 1982 March, M.I.S Unit 7 arrested him and made lawsuit under 5 J and put into solitary confinement for 2 years in Insein Jail. In May 1984 after two years of imprisonment he was released from the prison. Again in 1991 -the Military Court No.2 sentenced Zin Linn for 7 years imprisonment under National Security Act 5 (J) due to delivering the NCGUB's bulletin & statements and was released in 1997. Thus he ended up with a total 9 years of imprisonment in Burma.

According to the information Asian Tribune received, there are about 1381 political prisoners in various prisons in Burma and out of this 189 is in a very serious condition

Harsh conditions are still commonplace in some prisons and detention centers, and some prisoners suffer from serious mental disorders resulting from long periods of isolation.

Investigations made by Asian Tribune revealed that the most shocking an alarming truth is that t 189 prisoners are suffering from terminal illness and they are in the verge of dying. The sources that Asian Tribune contacted told that only a miracle could save their lives.

Up to now no successful attempt is undertaken for the release of these 189 prisoners at present languishing in prisons under life threatening conditions. Therefore, Asian Tribune wishes that a campaign should be launched to free these 189 political prisoners, who are said to be living corpse and majority of them have already lost their memories and senses and are simply vegetables, not knowing what is happening to them or around them.

Many of them are kept isolated and are in a demented state. Several of them have lost memories about themselves and are walking corpse described one source in Rangoon close to Asian Tribune.

A pitiable sight said a Rangoon based Asian diplomat. He added that these political prisoners who put their life on line for the birth of democracy in Burma are today dying unnoticed. These were one-time heroes of democracy and should not be allowed to die as prisoners. Their release should be arranged forthwith from the prisons and they are medically rehabilitated for the good of the country said the diplomat who wish to remain anonymous.
