In early February, four members of an anti-junta group in the Myanmar city of Mandalay said they received a secret, one-page, handwritten note spirited out of a prison that details two days of clashes and beatings of female political prisoners.
The note, received by the “Anti-Junta Forces Coordination Committee-Mandalay” and since seen by Reuters, provides the first detailed account of a crackdown on defiant female prisoners inside Mandalay’s Obo prison that left scores of women injured, according to six activists and lawyers who work with political prisoners.
