Assistance Association for Political Prisoners
"Though Imprisoned They Are Everywhere With Us"
The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma) (www.aappb.org) was founded by former political prisoners on 23 March 2000, the 11th anniversary of the arrest of 1988 student leader Min Ko Naing. AAPP is an independent, non-profit organization that monitors the situation regarding political prisoners in Burma, including human rights violations, persecution and intimidation to both current and former political prisoners and their families. Through international lobbying and advocacy as well as reporting and campaigning, since AAPP was founded in 2000, it has been able to provide help to hundreds of political prisoners.

The staff of AAPP can be seen here as part of the project "Even Though I'm Free I Am Not"
Whilst there are a few who work in the office in Mae Sot, there are hundreds across the world who in turn are also both part of the team and members of the Association. Without all of their help the project "Even Though I'm Free I Am Not" would never have happened. I am privileged and honoured to be able to work with and consider them all my friends.
