The Plight of Burmese Dissidents

By , About.com GuideJanuary 18, 2009

Follow me on:

In today's New York Times, Thomas Fuller writes about the fate of dissidents in Burma (Myanmar). It is a wrenching account of cruelty and oppression, and it reminds us not to forget our dharma brothers and sisters there.

Thomas Fuller mentions the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma), which has a lot more information on what's happening to prisoners, including monks and nuns imprisoned after the Saffron Revolution.
