News at Eleven: Despite not receiving the treatment he needs

for various ailments, Nay Phone Latt continues his fight for free expression from his prison cell and Reporters Without Borders has received a number of moving poems written by him.

In one poem, he alludes to himself as "a guitar with loose cords, unable to play any tune and give meaning to the instrument, remains silent, stands quietly, and waits." Referring to free speech in Burma, he talks of "a newspaper . . . nostalgic and in mourning for this rounded [Burmese] writing."
