In each photo, the subject lifts his or her hand in the classic Buddhist<\/a> gesture of the \u2018abhaya mudra,\u2019 a sign representing protection, peace and the dispelling of fear. Inscribed on their raised hands are the names of allies, friends, kindred spirits who were still in detention at the time the photo was taken.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Take a look at the whole series here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> You can see many more of Mackay\u2019s photos of Burmese political prisoners in his recent book Abhaya: Burma\u2019s Fearlessness<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, from River Books.
