Prayer ceremonies held in Rangoon for political prisoners

About 30 members of the Tuesday Prayer Group, NLD youth communications network and blood donors’ group, plus activists from Khayan-Thonekhwa participated in a prayer ceremony at  Shwedagon Pagoda. A prayer ceremony was also held in Dagon Myothit (North).

Myo Yan Naung Thein, a member of the youth communications network, toldMizzima that because it was Kasone Full Moon Day, a religious holiday in Burma, the Shwedagon Pagoda was crowded and visitors were interested in the  ceremony. ‘I saw some people shed tears’, he said.

Similarly, the Association Aiding the Poor organized a prayer ceremony in the 44th Ward in Dagon Myothit (North) in Rangoon. NLD central executive committee member Win Tin, Nai Nai, prominent politician Thakhin Ohn Maung, members of the NLD youth communication network, Human Rights Activists Network, the blood donors’ group and New Generation Students took part, totaling about 100 people.

“ယံုၾကည္ခ်က္ေၾကာင့္ အက်ဥ္းက်ခံေနရသူေတြဟာ အပစ္ပယ္ခံေတြ မဟုတ္ဘူး။ အားလံုးကို သတိရေနၾကတယ္။ က်ေနာ္တို႔ေတြက ေထာက္ခံေနတယ္။ သူတို႔အတြက္ရွိတယ္။ လိုအပ္လို႔ရွိရင္ က်ေနာ္တို႔ကိုယ္တိုင္ ေထာင္ထဲကို ဆက္ဝင္ခဲ့မယ္ဆုိတဲ့ သတင္းစကားကို ဆက္ေပးေနရလိမ့္မယ္။ ဘာလို႔ဆိုေတာ့ လက္ရွိအစိုးရသစ္ဘက္က လႊတ္ေပးခ်င္တဲ့ ဆႏၵမရွိဘူး။ အဲဒိအေပၚမွာ ဆက္လက္ တြန္းအားေပးရမယ္။ ဆက္လုပ္ရမယ္။ အရွိန္အဟုန္ျမင့္လုပ္ရမယ္” ဟု ဆုိသည္။ (Myo Yan Naung Thein)
