SAGAING DIVISION – The responsible person from Monywa People’s Strike Head Committee said that the terrorist junta sentenced Monywa protest leader Mr. Wai Moe Naing to a further 20 years for treason and rebellion charges under section 122.
The junta council has previously sentenced Mr. Wai Moe Naing to 12 years under six counts of charges under section 505 A; 2 years under section 25 of the Natural Disaster Management Act; and 20 years under section 395 and 397. And hence, this latest sentencing brings his total sentence to 54 years.
The responsible person from Monywa People’s Strike Head Committee said, “Monywa Prison court sentenced him to 20 years under section 122 just today (May 19). We haven’t heard about the appeal. He defended himself because he doesn’t have a lawyer.”
He also added that the terrorist junta council has also charged Mr. Moe Wai Naing under section 302 for murder.
Monywa People’s Strike Head Committee condemned the junta-backed court unfairly sentencing political prisoners and stated that achieving justice for all people including political prisoners who were dispossessed by junta-backed court and junta associates, as well as achieving a just legal system in the transitional period will firmly remain as important processes for the political (transitional) process.
