James Mawdsley & The Goldwyn Syndro

Subject: James Mawdsley & The Goldwyn Syndrome: Little girl got burned. Don't play with fire, little girl. 

Since she thought so much to defend herself and her family to The Times,
let me say this: once again she shows her pathetic treachery and
confusion. Now, safe back home, after she and her family were down on
their knees and willing to do virtually anything, so said her proud
father, to get her out of jail and out of the country, they were used,
and turned into a propaganda item, siging the junta tune, and now,
having renonced herself once again, she claims, turning and turning,
that she will not go back and there wasnt any "deal". 

she already sold out. long ago, and she's been dealt out since. the
goldwyn syndrome is for weak hearts and weak minds. James and DAvid
mawdsley are made of different stuff. 

which is why everyone should do whatever they can to see that the junta
knows the world is watching VERY closely what they do to James while
they keep him illegally behind bars.

TIMES (London): BURMA PRISONERS--LETTER FROM RACHEL GOLDWYN
Burma prisoners 

BODY: 


>From Ms Rachel Goldwyn 

Sir, In your interview with David Mawdsley (January 10) he criticises my 
family's handling of my release from prison in Burma. The Mawdsleys and 
my parents have very different perspectives. My family made my release 
their immediate and sole objective, terrified that I would be tortured 
and beaten like other political prisoners in Burma. 

James and his family do not currently want to fight for his release. 
They were involved in his planning, my family weren't involved in mine. 

I have the utmost respect for the Mawdsleys and James especially. He 
wants to use his incarceration to highlight the suffering of the 1,500 
other political prisoners in Burma. He is an incredibly brave and 
principled young man. 

We will never know what it was that secured my release; there have been 
so many people in the UK and beyond who worked hard towards it, but 
there was no "deal". 

I was in a terribly confused state when I returned to the UK; this was 
my first encounter with the junta who worked intensively to undermine me 
in jail. But I now know that it would be dangerous and foolish to return 
to Burma, and I have no intention of doing so. 

British business supports this illegitimate, cruel regime. Until there 
are economic sanctions on Burma, all of us Britons have blood on our 
hands. 

Yours, 

RACHEL GOLDWYN
