Life in Burma Military Prisons: A Prison Memoir of Nang Zing La

Burma, now known as Myanmar, is ruled by one of the longest standing military regimes of modern times. The government is very secretive, especially about their operation of arrests and their treatment of prisoners throughout the country.

Life in Burma Military Prisons presents a first hand account of the author in three military prisons. He was incarcerated for a total of eight and a half years. Such a prison story was never available to the media of the outside world.

Released prisoners seldom talk about their experiences. Those who are willing to talk are intimidated and threatened. Nang Zing La is one of the first prisoners to come out boldly and lay out the case in graphic terms.
