YANGON -- Crouching through the entrance into Yangon's new museum for political prisoners, a less-than nimble visitor might be forgiven for stepping face-first into the wall a meter inside the door.
Nobody has done that, apparently, in the weeks since the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma) museum opened on March 18 -- probably because the wall is decorated with an arresting mural of 701 photos of current and former political prisoners in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma.
