*Nathan Maung says [Burmese prison thugs] punched, slapped and beat him, and kept him blindfolded for over a week.*

They also chained him in painful positions and denied him sleep.

They didn't know, for the first few days, that he was a US citizen. So his treatment may be representative of how they treat political prisoners who are citizens only of Burma. But he says that some prisoners got worse torture than he did.
