James Mawdsley Speaks Up About The Gadfly Project

Activist James Mawdsley who spent years in a Burmese prison speaks out about The Gadfly Project. He is the Author of: "The heart must break: the fight for democracy and truth in Burma" A compelling story of his life as a 27 year old man from Lancashire, who returned home to Britain at the end of 2000 having endured 14 months of solitary confinement and torture in a Burmese prison. This is an account of his four years in and out of Burma where he witnessed the regime’s genocidal persecution of Burma’s border people and the inhumanity of the prisons. He had suspended the promise of academic success and a comfortable family life in England, to pursue instead something more purposeful -- and with quite extraordinary consequences.
