Current Situation:
Khun Htun Oo, Chairman of the Shan Nationalities League for Democracy, is currently
serving a 93 year prison sentence in remote Puta-O prison in northern Kachin State. He suffers from
gout which has worsened day after day.
Background:
Khun Htun Oo, 64, is serving a 93-year prison sentence for taking part in a private discussion
of official plans for political transition. He is an elected Member of the Burmese Parliament and is
the most senior political representative of the Shan, the largest of Myanmar's ethnic minorities. He is
chairperson of the Shan Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD), which gained 23 seats in the
1990 election. During the elections, his party narrowly beat Aung San Suu Kyi’s party in Shan State,
Burma’s biggest state.
In 1998, eight years after the junta ignored the election results, SNLD and 3 other ethnic
parties had worked on a coalition agreement with National League for Democracy, the biggest party
led by Aung San Suu Kyi. They set up Committee Representing the People's Parliament (CRPP).
Since that time, authorities obviously started to crack down on Khun Htun Oo and his party.
He encouraged the junta to talk to Aung San Suu Kyi first. He once said “Two-way talk is important
before the tripartite dialog. When there are reconciliation conditions, we want talks to be tripartite. I
hope it will happen.”
Burma has different kinds of ethnic nationalities. Khun Htun Oo and other ethnic leaders
always say that only ethnic people know about the problems they have been suffering for years.
Therefore, they all ask for the dialog.
In 2004, SNLD, Khun Tun Oo’s party boycotted junta-sponsored-national-convention. Tt was widely
known as a sham convention. They stayed in the convention for eleven years because they want to
show that they are willing to cooperate with the junta for the sake of the country. As a result, the
junta watched him more carefully to take action against him.
On 7 February 2005, he had taken part in a private meeting of senior political representatives
to discuss the authorities' plans for political transition over a meal. The authorities soon arrested the
leaders present at the meal and denied them access to family members, in some cases for up to nine
months. They were not allowed lawyers of their choice, and were sentenced to extraordinarily
lengthy prison terms in November 2005.
After they were sentenced, they were sent to different prisons very far from their homes,
without official notification to their families. U Khun Htun Oo is being held in Puta-O Prison in
Kachin state in the north of Myanmar where conditions are reported to be very harsh. Very recently,
Khun Tun Oo secretly sends his message out of the prison. His message is as follow:
“We didn’t commit any crime. We reaffirm our aim to empower our people to bring peace,
justice equality to the people.”

IMMEDIATE HEALTH CONCERNS:
Ma Khin Moe Aye suffers from headaches and stomach problems. She also suffers from spondylitis
(inflammation of the vertebrae), which she developed during her second period of imprisonment in Insein
prison, as a result of straining to read in the poorly-lit cell where she was kept for almost two years.
CAREER BACKGROUND:
Khin Moe Aye was an active participant in the student activities at Rangoon Arts and Sciences
University (RASU) in 1988 as a member of the university student union. As a representative member,
her duties involved meeting with the members of other student groups like the All Burma Federation of
Student Unions to discuss and plan their collective role in the movement. Thar Nyunt Oo, a long-time
friend and political colleague of Khin Moe Aye, describes her as “a very open and generous girl,” who
gave a great deal of practical and financial support to the student movement. Her house was a place of
refuge for the student activists, who were constantly under surveillance and the threat of detention from
authorities after the popular uprising in 1988.
After the National League for Democracy’s landslide victory in the May 1990 democratic
elections, Khin Moe Aye was one of seven hundred students that protested the State Law and Order
Restoration Council’s (SLORC) retention of power outside the Ghandi Conference Hall. In 1990, she
was arrested for her political activities and spent a month in detention, although she was released
without charge.
When Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, Khin Moe Aye and
her friends were very excited to hear of the honor, not only because it would bring more attention to the
crisis in Burma, but because it was also the first time a woman in Burma had ever received such a
distinguished award. Khin Moe Aye and her fellow students decided to hold a ceremony to honor Daw
Aung San Suu Kyi on their university campus, against the orders of their university professors.
Although the professors were sympathetic, they were threatened with arrest by military intelligence if
they did not co-operate with authorities. Altogether, twenty students were arrested for their roles in the
ceremony. All members of the group received a sentence of ten years imprisonment after unfair trials,
and all the women were transferred together to Rangoon’s Insein Prison in mid-December 1991.

Khin San Nwe, a former female political prisoner and friend of Khin Moe Aye, describes the
harsh conditions in prison. Khin Moe Aye spent some of her time in a prison hall where 150 political
and criminal prisoners were kept together in very cramped and unsanitary conditions, with only 1.5 ft of
space per person on the floor for sleeping. The women were subjected to cruel and inhuman treatment -
there was insufficient water for bathing, and they were made to carry out pointless tasks like fly-
catching as part of their prison duties.
While in prison, when they were allowed to, Khin Moe Aye's family came to see her every two
weeks. Other women were not as fortunate, and Khin Moe Aye was always generous with these
women. "She was always helpful, gentle, charming, and always smiling," remembers Khin San Nwe,
"and whenever she got supplies from her family she would share them, especially with the children. She
would give them her biscuits."
Khin Moe Aye's environment in prison changed significantly for the worse when a reshuffling of
prison authorities occurred. In 1992, a high-profile, wealthy and well-connected female criminal
prisoner was brought to Insein Prison. During a surprise inspection of the prison, the authorities
discovered that the head warden had accepted bribes in exchange for privileges in prison. When the
inspector discovered that this high profile prisoner had a private room with a mattress and personal
attendants, he ordered a rearrangement in the management of the prison. All positions were refilled with
military officials. "This was the beginning of the time when the military began to break down the spirit
of the political prisoners," explains Khin San Nwe. Before the women's warden was replaced, Khin
Moe Aye and other women had been allowed to conduct English language classes in the evenings during
their free time. After their warden was removed from her position, the women were forbidden to
continue the classes.
Stories about treatment of political prisoners began to leak out, causing the international
community to increase its pressure on the Burmese government to release political prisoners. In 1992,
in response to the pressure, the SLORC issued an Amnesty Act. This act provided all prisoners with
sentences over ten years to be reduced to ten years. Another section called for the release of any
prisoner not deemed dangerous to the community, a category into which Khin Moe Aye fell, and so she
was released on 4 May 1992.
Although she did not actively engage in political activities after 1992, she continued to assist her
friends like Thar Nyunt Oo. "She would photocopy pamphlets for us, always at night," says Thar Nyunt
Oo. "We would sometimes work all night at her house stamping the pamphlets with the ABFSU seal."
In 1995, Aung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest, an event that brought new hope to
the student activists. Many were inspired and took steps to reinvigorate the movement. Their plans
culminated in the 1996 December movement in Rangoon, a series of demonstrations in which thousands
of students took part. The military police arrived and responded as expected, by arresting hundreds of
demonstrators. In response to the December demonstrations, military intelligence launched a new series
of attacks on activists over the following year, arresting anyone they suspected of being remotely
engaged in political activity.
During this wave of arrests, military intelligence arrested Khin Moe Aye for the third time. For
some months she had assisted author Ko Aung Tun in writing his six-volume The History of the Student
Movement 1903-1991. Ko Aung Tun and Khin Moe Aye's friend were also arrested in relation to the
case. The military sentenced Khin Moe Aye to seven years imprisonment with hard labor in February
1998. Khin Moe Aye was sent back to Insein Prison. She was released on 4 May 2003.
After her release, Ma Khin Moe Aye continued her quiet support for the pro-democracy movement from
behind the scenes until her arrest on 14 December 2007.

IMMEDIATE HEALTH CONCERNS:
Myo Yan Naung Thein is in urgent need of specialist medical treatment from a neurologist. During detention
following his arrest, he was tortured by Special Branch and Swan-Arr-Shin officers. He was severely beaten and
suffered head injuries. His nervous system appears to have been damaged, as he has been suffering from
paralysis down the left-hand side of his body and is unable to walk properly. On 29 May 2008 his brother Myo
Thein reported to the media that Myo Yan Naung Thein’s medical condition is rapidly deteriorating. He has been
vomiting daily and cannot sleep. He has required assistance to help him walk to the visiting room to see his
family on visiting days.
In May Myo Yan Naung Thein asked the prison authorities to see a neurologist, but was punished for this request
by being held for two weeks in solitary confinement in an Ayutheit cell, where prisoners with psychological
problems are normally held. He was reportedly given medication for a psychological problem, even though his
problem is neurological not psychological. Whilst he was in this cell he had to sit in the wet, as the roof of the
building had not yet been properly repaired following the damage caused by Cyclone Nargis.
He made a brief court appearance on 26 June, before being remanded in custody again. As he is unable to walk,
he was brought to court on a stretcher.
He is currently being held in Cell Block 1, Insein prison. He faces charges under Section 505/b of the Penal
Code, which carries a maximum sentence of 9 years.

Situation:
Hnin May Aung (alias) Nobel Aye is now under trial in Insein prison. She is charged by Act 5/96
on Feburary 16, 2008.
Background:
Background:
Hnin May Aung (alias) Nobel Aye (27) had been arrested since September 1998 because of
involving in movements for the Committee Representative People Parliament (CRPP). Hninn May Aung
was a third year Physics student from Dagon University at that time and she organized students and took
leadership in 3 demonstrations in Rangoon. She also delivered clandestine bulletins from underground
students’ organization. She was arrested on 21 September 1998 and sentenced Hnin May Aung (alias)
Nobel Aye to 42 years imprisonment. She is the only female student leader who was sentenced to the
most severe penalty of 42 years imprisonment.
Not only she was arrested but also her mother, Daw Aye Myint Than was arrested at that time.
However, they could not stay together in prison and they were transferred to different prisons. Finally,
her mother was seriously illness in Myaungmya prison, in order to help her mother, she was moved to
Myaungmya prison.While both of them are in prison, and they were met with Amnesty Internationall
delegation in 2003. She was released July 6, 2005.
Even though she was released, she was not allowed to re-enter her university and the junta
didn’t issue for her Identity card. It made her more difficult life but she visited and helped the families of
political prisoners. In the mean while she studied her english lesson at United State Information Agency.
While studying for self-cultivation, she opened a boder school for poor children at her home. Even she
was doing such kind of good contribution to the society, authority dissatisfied with her.
Unfortunately, she could not stay and work her good job and she was arrested on August 23,
2007 at her home. Actually, authority wanted to arrest “No No” who is now in Insein prison but not Noble
Aye @ Hnin May Aung. However they did not clarify who the real person was. Therefore, they arrested
the same name “Noble”. Many people called Noble Aye as “No No”. Now, even when the real “No No”
was arrested, authority has not yet released Noble Aye@ Hnin May Aung back so far, without any
commitment in action after being free in 2005.
