The National Human Rights Commission has suggested in March that the President's Office and the Ministry of Home Affairs investigate human rights conditions in Myanmar's prisons. However, the President's Office has not offered any response to the proposal, according to Zaw Win, a member of the NHRC.
The NHRC held a press conference on December 4 in Yangon about its activities regarding prisoners and prisons.
The NHRC visited prisons, prison cells and detention centers on 17 and 18 February 2015 to investigate whether detainees are treated in line with human rights standards prescribed by international and domestic laws. On March 6, the NHRC gave it's proposal to the President's Office.
Zaw Win said: “We proposed an investigation of prison conditions after we inspected the Insein Prison. We wish to inspect all prisons in Myanmar.” (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
