Free all political prisoners in Burma!

After an election held in Burma last year, power was supposedly transferred from the military junta to a civilian government. But observers have criticized the fairness of the election, as the pro-military party led by Thein Sein received the vast majority of votes.

Thein Sein is described by some as a moderate or reformist. His actions since taking office, however, suggest otherwise. Nearly 2,000 political prisoners including Buddhist monks and journalists remain locked up in Burma. If the new regime is serious about reform, these political prisoners should be released immediately. Tell the President he must free them without delay to prove his commitment to reform.
