SAGAING DIVISION – The Political Prisoners’ Hunger Strike successfully concluded at Monywa Prison around 11 a.m. on Wednesday, September 13th. The Junta Council fulfilled the requests of 50 political prisoners, as reported by the Monywa Strike Column Central Committee.
The Junta Council also released Mr. Wai Moe Naing from isolation in the prison, and the prison officials returned the items that had been looted from the political prisoners, according to Mr. Lwin Moe Thant, a former political prisoner.
“This marks the first time that political prisoners’ requests have been achieved. In 2022, prison officials looted our belongings and set them on fire, despite our requests for their return. This was a complete violation of human rights,” stated Mr. Lwin Moe Thant.
He also expressed gratitude on behalf of the political prisoners to the revolutionary public, as well as to local and international news media that helped bring success to the hunger strike.
The political prisoners had made the following requests:
The return of books that had been looted by prison officials.
The return of three Type 3 items that had been looted by prison officials.
The return of bowls, food, and meals that had been looted by prison officials.
The return of drawings that had been seized by the Junta Council, as political prisoners are allowed up to ten letters and ten drawings.
The Monywa Strike Column Central Committee also noted its respectful recording and honoring of the political prisoners’ spirit in their resistance against junta oppression.
