HEADLINE: ASIA: Burma grants father access to jailed Btitish activist _2 

BODY: 
Burma Mawdsley 2 Rangoon (reopens)    David Mawdsley said his son had not tempered his views in the face of his continuing
imprisonment. 

"He has made absolutely no concessions," he told the Times newspaper. 

"The jail authorities are in absolute fear of James. He is so positive, so strong, and I am so proud of him." 

Mawdsley said he had given his son his full support when he decided to return to Burma last year. 

"For quite some time I discussed at length with him different ways of doing it," he said. 

"But James is a very determined, honest, decent young man. Once I realised he wasn't going to be dissuaded, I went with him and
supported him all along."
