Anticipating Release
Political prisoners live in anticipation of their release. When political prisoners are released, though, they face many challenges to reintegrate themselves into society. Many are unable to find employment or restart their education, and they remain under the constant watch of the Military Intelligence.

Most face physical and psychological problems which they are unable to address for lack of stability in their lives and lack of financial resources. Further, there is little knowledge in Burma about psychiatry or psychology, which means political prisoners have nowhere to turn to address their mental suffering.

The scars from their torture last for the remainder of their lives.
