From Facebook, U Win Tin got his national ID in Burma 3 days before he died!!!

  •  It means he was identity or state-less before it was issued!
  • Kyi May Kaung OMG--stateless in his own country he loved so much and gave so much for.!!!!!
  • Kyi May Kaung I really respect the families who looked after him all these years, decades, and we should say Thank you, and see that no harm befalls them--such as property being taken over, you know these guys.
  • Well SPDC and the current government marked U Win Tin as persona non grata. The latter gave way only for the people's immense support.
  • Kyi May Kaung they shld be sued for damages by win tin foundation -- and proceeds given to other victims of the regime. You know Terry Anderson? won millions fr Iranian frozen assets overseas--
  • We were briefed at the University by S1 General KN that UWT was a Communist because he read so many Marxist books. I joked that   could also be accused like that as the RU Library has so many such books. And S1 confiscated UWT's room at Lanmadaw government qrs. It was very unfair.
  • Kyi May Kaung When --which year did the S1 briefing take place.

  •  It may be 1990 or 1991. It occurred at the Educational Research Bureau within the Institute of Education Building.
  • Kyi May Kaung Thank you. I am keeping comments on file as I am translating What's That?
