Report on political prisoner rehabilitation released

The call was made yesterday by the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP) and the Former Political Prisoners Society (FPPS) as they released a joint report on the challenges faced by ex-political prisoners trying to reintegrate into society.

Advocates said at the report’s launch in Yangon that the government must take three steps to reduce the number of political prisoners: stop civil war, amend the constitution and other laws to remove unfair provisions, and establish a judiciary in which the people can place their trust.
