Bhutanese political prisoners

We are buying handmade, natural incenses from a Bhutanese man and last time I went to his shop I saw these bags.
The adorable handbags are double sided, hand (I really mean HAND) embroidered by Bhutanese political prisoners. By both women and men.
This kind man had bought the bags unseen just to support these people who has been imprisoned for speaking their mind about democracy.
Coming from Sweden, a land ruled by the people, it's difficult to fully understand how it's like to live in a country where you will be thrown to jail for at least 15 years for speaking up.
Let me know if you want to buy one the bags and support these brave people.
