One of the things I am most proud of in my life--
in mid-2009, when Nyi Nyi Aung was first arrested in Burma,
I spoke with his fiancee Wa Wa and a mutual friend, and when I realized we were
out of our depth and really needed to reach out to people who could really
help, I sent some emails and I introduced Wa WA to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's
DC-based lawyer, whom Wa Wa at once retained.
Among the emails I sent to NY-based Burma dissidents was one
to a then journalism student who started the ball rolling by writing about the
case in the Huffington Post.
After that, the major newspapers picked up on the case.
NNA suffered a back dislocation from the beatings received
in prison.
Fortunately, the surgeons who operated on him did it all
gratis.
The mutual friend drove NNA to see me to "show me"
he was OK, but we did not get to chat long.
I am so proud of everyone who helped and of Wa Wa and Nyi
Nyi who conducted themselves so well throughout the ordeal.
I post this now so people will know that what we are dealing
with is not a benign military regime in Burma.
