U Ne Win, 60, who is secretary for the National League for Democracy (NLD), suffers from hypertension and heart problems. However he did not receive any proper medical treatment, and has had to rely on medicine provided by his family. As a result of this condition, he cannot be independent. He was arrested on 27th September 2007, and the following day he was sentenced to two years imprisonment with hard labor. He was not given access to a lawyer, or any legal rights. He is currently in Myitkyina prison.

Kyaw
Myo Min, who is in Mawlamyine prison, is suffering from paralysis and cannot walk by himself. He was arrested in 2007, together with his wife, Hnin Pan, and both of them were given 13 years imprisonment. He was severely tortured during his interrogation. He needs urgent medical treatment.

Aung
Thu, Myo Aung Naing, Hla Myo Naung, Thet Zin, Min Ko Naing, Win Maw and Su Su Nwe (F) are suffering from eye problems, heart problems and other serious conditions. They have not received enough medical attention.

Another
crime committed by the authorities is to intentionally give incorrect treatment. For example: Ko Aung Thu, who suffers from a neurological disease and is a member of the 88 Generation Student Group, was taken to a psychiatric hospital, even though he is not suffering from mental illness. When Ko Aung Thu complained, he was taken to a neurological hospital. However, Dr.Myat Htun, deputy-in-charge of the hospital said, "you politicians make us busy and give us trouble but we cannot cure you- if you are not satisfied you can complain to anyone anywhere".

Concerning political prisoners' health, Ko Tate Naing, secretary of AAPP, stated that there are not enough skilled doctors or medicine in the prisons, "Prison authorities do not account for this, and neglect to provide proper medical care. This is a kind of systematic homicide. Even though United Nations Special Rapporteur, Tomas Ojea Quintana, commented that the condition of the political prisoners he saw was reasonable, the reality is very different." added Ko Tate Naing.

Currently there are at least 39 political prisoners needing proper medical treatment in Burma's prisons. See Annex for details.

Prison: Insein prison
Health Condition: Min Ko Naing, high-profile pro-democracy activist and ‘88 Generation Student Group leader, has been suffering from an eye infection whilst in detention. Although he has received some treatment in detention, his condition has worsened again, partly due to a fire which broke out at Insein prison on Saturday 3 May in the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis. The cyclone ripped roofing off buildings and flooded prison wards. In addition, a fire which broke out during the storm caused thick smoke to envelope much of the prison. The smoke exacerbated Min Ko Naing’s eye condition.
In mid-June, Min Ko Naing requested emergency medical treatment because his health had deteriorated, but the request was denied. On 25 June the mother of Aunt Mwe Kyaw, another political prisoner, told Democratic Voice of Burma, “His sister told me that Min Ko Naing was suffering from high blood pressure, an eye infection and gout. His family has sent him medicine but his health has not improved yet. His family is very worried about Min Ko Naing’s health.”
Min Ko Naing has been suffering from an eye infection since the end of March 2008 and his requests for a consultation with an eye specialist were initially denied by prison authorities. During the period he was denied treatment his eye condition deteriorated, to the point where he was unable to sleep or eat because of the pain the infection caused. At the end of April he was prescribed eye drops by a specialist, who said that Min Ko Naing’s eyesight has been affected in this way because he has spent many years in damp conditions in prison.

He has required assistance to help him walk to the visiting room to see his family on visiting days.

I don’t want to be killed by the authorities but by myself. That’s why I have decided to stage a hunger strike even though I am not in good shape."

Many prisoners in Insein prison have been suffering from ill health since Cyclone Nargis struck on 2 and 3 May. A fire broke out during the storm, and thick smoke enveloped the prison. The cyclone also ripped the roof off the food warehouse, and rice stores were soaked. Although the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) replaced the rice as soon as they found out about the situation, prisoners were only fed the new rice on 19, 20, and 21 May. Authorities then fed prisoners mouldy, inedible rice. As a result many prisoners are suffering from diarrhea, dysentery, vomiting, dizziness, skin allergies and typhoid. Prison authorities have not provided adequate medical care for those prisoners affected.
