Meeting with Representatives of the United States Embassy

Posted on June 4, 2019  •  Posted in Blog, Our Activities, Slide show

On June 4, John Ryan (Political Officer, Political-Economic Section), Micah L. Watson (Human Rights International Organizations) and Khine Mwan Lurnn (Political Specialist – Political and Economic Section) from the United States Embassy visited the AAPP office in Rangoon and had a look around “the Memory of the Past Museum”. Ko Zaw Moe, AAPP’s Documentation and Research Chief and Deputy of Foreign Affairs, gave them a museum tour. Then, U Bo Kyi, AAPP Joint Secretary, U Kyaw Soe Win, AAPP-MHAP Chief, and Ko Zaw Moe met with them and discussed AAPP’s current activities and the current political conditions in Burma

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.
