Monthly Trend Analysis
The information received by AAPP during the month of July reports the ongoingmistreatment and poor health conditions of political prisoners in prisons. This month, AAPP hasreceived several cases of prisoners suffering from severe health problems caused by theinhumane and harsh conditions of detention. Many of the political prisoners are suffering fromhealth conditions that are caused by the poor hygiene and poor quality of food that theyreceive in the prisons. In addition, prison authorities often deny medical care andhospitalization when it is requested and needed by the prisoners, further worsening theirhealth condition. While the return of the ICRC to the prisons appears positive, it is important toremember that prison authorities often try to hide the true picture of the reality inside theprisons. Former political have confirmed that the ICRC is never allowed to independentlyinteract with prisoners during visits.Despite promised improvements of the human rights situation, the military backedThein Sein administration has arrested one more activist this month. On the 19
th
of July, AungHla Myint aka Phoe Htaung, a member of the NLD in Tatkon township and former politicalprisoner was arrested under unclear charges. AAPP is waiting to receive further information onthe case.AAPP received updates on the case of political prisoner Hnin May Aung, also known asNoble Aye, in the month of July. Prison authorities responded to her open letter demandingstate authorities to retract statements denying the existence of political prisoners in Burma bybanning family visits and holding her incommunicado in solitary confinement. This is a clear signthat the basic rights of prisoners are not respected, including freedom of expression.
