At a religious freedom event in July, a pastor from Myanmar recounted his ordeal of being jailed and tortured for more than a year.
Pastor Langjaw Gam Seng was arrested in 2016 and wrongfully charged for exposing the Burmese Army’s airstrike against a church. Seng also provided aid to victims of violence and helped to bury the dead in the midst of armed conflicts.
He spent 15 months under harsh conditions in prison and was released in April 2018.
