Cease Media Commentary

announcement in the Messenger newspaper to distance
herself from her sons comments in local media.

RANGOON The daughter of former dictator Ne Win has used a public announcement in
the Messenger newspaper to distance herself from her son, who has spoken expansively on
his political opinions to a number of media outlets in recent weeks.
Khin Sandar Win and her husband used Tuesdays announcement to admonish Aye Ne Win
for his recent media engagements, saying they did not reflect the opinion of the rest of his
family.
We would like to inform that our son Aye Ne Win, without the approval of his parents Aye
Zaw Win and Khin Sandar Win and his family, has talked to the media, including internet,
newspapers, journals, TV and radio about our father U Ne Win, our family and political and
military issues that are nothing to do with our family, the notice said.
If he does so again in the future against the will of the parents, he is the sole person
responsible for it and we, his family, will not assume any responsibility.

The Fight For Freedom in Burma

The grandson of Burmas late dictator Gen. Ne Win, Aye Ne Win was one of 69 political
prisoners released under a presidential pardon in November 2013. He had spent 11 years in
jail after he and his family were charged with high treason at the age of 26, accused of
plotting to overthrow the former military regime. His father and brother, Zwe Ne Win, were
released in a previous amnesty in January 2012, while Khin Sandar Win spent six years under
house arrest in the familys Inya Lake home.
Aye Zaw Win told The Irrawaddy on Wednesday that he did not know about the
announcement bearing his name until he was contacted for his opinion.
I dont really know. Im back from playing golf now, but I still havent met my wife, he
said. As for the announcement, I will ask my wife what my son has said to the media.
Khin Sandar Win, reported to be the late Ne Wins favourite daughter, has attempted to keep
her family firmly out of the public eye since her fathers death in 2002.
Since Aye Ne Wins release, he has been a prolific user of social media and has been spotted
at many public events, including this years celebration of Armed Forces Day. In recent
weeks he has spoken with numerous local and international outlets, discussing a range of
topics including his political and religious views, the continued role of the military in
political life, and his business dealings.
The Irrawaddy was unable to reach Aye Ne Win for comment.
