“Burma’s Political Prisoners”

Though 2010 has seen marked progress in Burma, with the military government promising the first elections in 20 years, more than 2,100 political prisoners remain in Burmese jails. Human Rights Watch’s one-day interactive exhibit in Grand Central Terminal’s Vanderbilt Hall features photographs and first-hand accounts from Burma’s exile community. Add your name to a petition for the prisoners’ release, which will be sent to Burmese military leader, Gen. Than Shwe.
