“Mr. Thant Zin Htet was arrested while going to the general manager’s office of the Nattalin Military Council on a matter. Ms. Khin Pyae Pyae Aung and Ms. Win Lay were arrested at their homes. I only know that they were arrested because three of them were mentioned as being arrested in the Military Council telegram. I don’t know why they were arrested,” said a resident.
Mr. Thant Zin Htet was arrested yesterday afternoon on July 19th, and Ms. Khin Pyae Pyae Aung and Ms. Win Lay were arrested at their homes earlier last night. He added that it is not known where the three of them are currently being held.
All of them were arrested for posting flowers strike and wishing them a happy birthday. Telegram’s account called Ant Bhone Thwin posted their posts on Telegram. They were arrested within hours of posting,” another resident said.
Mr. Ko Thant Zin Htet was released from Pyi prison last year and was previously arrested and imprisoned for being a political activist.
