Situation for political prisoners in Buthidaung worsens
The situation for political prisoners in Buthidaung prison, 80 miles north of Arakan's state capital Sittwe, has been worsening by the day due to oppression by the prison authority, said monk U Thumana who was recently released from the prison under amnesty.
The former political prisoner compared Azerbaijani prisons with medieval caves and called the prison workers ``cruel and exploiters''.
