Burmese Prisoners Abroad
To support Burmese prisoners doing time in Asian prisons. Even after the change from the military junta to a civilian government, the prisoners are still lacking Burmese embassy support. This blog is to create a caring community to encourage and motivate prisoners with the very basics in life like; a kind word, a short birthday card, etc...

Burmese do not want Rohingyas, Burmese do not 'want' to recognise Rohingyas.

Self-exiled Aussie dies in Bangkok
What is left to return to?...
Lindsay Murdoch and Jim Pollard
SMH - April 23, 2009 - 7:48AM
A Melbourne man who preferred to live in a crowded Bangkok immigration cell rather than return to Australia has died.
Colin Hansch, 61, told Thai authorities he would rather stay in jail than return to Australia, even though he only slept on a mat and received a small serve of rice and soup each day.
"I've not been back to Australia for 30 years. I don't want to go back. I've got nothing to go back to," Mr Hansch said last year.
