Members of DRL meeting with AAPP in Rangoon

On 29 May 2018, Foreign Affairs Officer, Henrietta S.Levin led the group of Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) visited and looked around AAPP’s museum, Memory of The Past. AAPP’s Mental Health Assistance Program (MHAP) Chief, Ko Kyaw Soe Win and Research Team/Deputy Foreign Affairs, Ko Zaw Moe showed around the museum and explained the condition of how former political prisoners went through. After that, they discussed openly with AAPP’s Secretary, Ko Tate Naing and Joint-Secretary, Ko Bo Kyi.

The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma), otherwise known as AAPP, is a human rights organization based in Mae Sot, Thailand and Rangoon, Burma. AAPP advocates for the release of all remaining political prisoners in Burma and for the improvement of their quality of life during and after incarceration. AAPP has developed rehabilitation and assistance programs for those political activists who have been released while continuing to document the ongoing imprisonment of political activists in Burma.

As long as political prisoners exist inside Burma, Burma will not be free. They represent the struggle for democracy, human rights, equality and freedom for the people of Burma. This makes the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners an integral part of Burma’s drive for national reconciliation.
