2025-05-04. Judson is moved to Aungbinle Prison.

May 4, 1825.  Adoniram Judson had been imprisoned by Burmese authorities since June 8, 1824, charged with being a spy for the British armies advancing through Burma.  On May 4, 1825, he was suddenly moved from the Death Prison, where he had miraculously escaped death, to Aungbinle Prison, some eight miles away.  Stripped of his western shoes and encumbered with three sets of shackles, Judson’s feet were shredded on the rocks and thorns in transit.  He would have died in this forced march had it not been for a Burmese servant who took off his headdress and wrapped Judson’s feet in its cloth. (Edward Judson, p. 249)
