Steve and Oddny Gumaer started Partners Relief & Development in response to the needs of refugees and displaced people from Burma. This blog is meant to be a more personal stream of conversation than newsletters allow for. The opinions expressed here may not be those of Partners Relief & Development.Press Release Regarding Political Prisoner Amnesty
"Partners Relief & Development welcomes the release of about 120 political prisoners in Burma. We do, however, urge the government of Burma to release ALL political prisoners as we have noted that the most prominent ones have still not been set free. Nearly 2000 political prisoners are still in jail, many of them with sentences as long as 65 years or more.
We are encouraged by the positive changes that are happening in Burma. But in order for true change to happen, the government needs to end its atrocious deeds in the ethnic areas of the country."
