I just don’t want to get involved.

Q: What is your future plan?

A: For the time being, I need to have a medical check-up. I have health problems—heart troubles, gastric ulcers and hypertension. I also suffer from spondylosis, so I have to take eight different kinds of medicine every day. Then, I will work as much as I can to help my colleagues who remain behind bars, socially and financially.

Q: How would you describe your life in prison in only one word?

A: Well, to quote U Nai Nai, “Prison is the hell of human society.”

Congratulations for surviving the kind of human Hell that no country should be oppressing its citizens with in 2010.

Congratulations for wanting to help others similarly incarcerated.

Were you too offered a job with your gaolers at the end of your term, like so many others in this disgusting game?

Isn't it time for this nightmare to stop?

What in humanity's name is wrong with countries like China that they support and sanction medieval human brutality in the 21st century!

Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, run by the United States military, are the worst of all prisons in the world.

So cheer up Win Htein - good scarify for a woman you dearly love and admire. Suck it up!

The legacy of General Than Shwe is one of depletion of every resource and the most tragic is the unwillingness to utilize people with such self evident capacities as U Win Htein for the common good.
