⬆️ #Myanmar's ousted leader #SuuKyi is still imprisoned. A senior member of her party and a close colleague of hers, who was arrested along with her by the military junta, has now died in prison.

Zaw Myint #Maung was serving a prison sentence of 29 years on fabricated charges of corruption, sedition and election fraud — similar to those against Suu Kyi.

This is the fate that awaits US opposition parties if #Trump wins reelection

Same as #Navalny's in #Russia

Senior member of Myanmar's former ruling party dies while serving prison sentence

Zaw Myint Maung, a senior member of Myanmar’s former ruling party arrested during the 2021 military takeover, has died. He had been serving a prison sentence that was considered politically motivated. He was a close colleague of ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi and spokesperson of her National League for Democracy party. He had been a second vice president and chief minister of the central Mandalay region before the army seized control of the government in 2021, arresting him, Suu Kyi and many top members of her NLD party and government. He died Monday. He was 72 and had leukemia.
