News at Eleven: [U Win Tin] told a friend

who is allowed to visit him: "All political prisoners must be freed and the democratic parliament must meet. We must not abandon these demands."

Reporters Without Borders and the Burma Media Association said: "The inhumanity of this military junta, which has imprisoned a sick, 77-year-old man for nearly 18 years, needs no further proof. By refusing U Win Tin the right to early release, the regime breaks its own laws and promises. We call for him to be freed at once."

from Reporters Without Borders: On 77th birthday, U Win Tin demands respect for his rights as detainee in Insein prison
