Assistance Association for Political Prisoners

The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP) was founded on March 23, 2000.

The AAPP's secretary is U Tate Naing. The AAPP's vision is a free and democratic society with no political prisoners, which protects, preserves and fulfils civil and political rights, and to contribute to national reconciliation.

Because only the unconditional release of all political prisoners can be the first step toward genuine democratic change, the AAPP has consistently called for the unconditional release of all political prisoners.

The AAPP's work includes information gathering and research, a psychosocial support programme, an education and vocational support programme, and trainings such as psychosocial recovery, stress management and self-care, human rights, human rights documentation, and transitional justice. It also publishes a daily briefing, "Spring Revolution Records", on the current situation since the military coup.
