The military junta arrested U Tun Lwin, a former Kyaukphyu township chairman of
the Arakan League for Democracy (ALD) on 14 April at around 10 am, said the
family members.
He was arrested from his residence at Zedi Taung ward
by the military security affairs personnel who arrived by a white
passenger car.
"They didn't provide any reason for his arrest. We have no information
about his whereabouts. He occasionally shared messages on social media and that
may be the reason behind his arrest," said a family member.
The junta forces also confiscated one computer and a
phone set used by U Tun Lwin.
"We have no contact with him and are now worried about
his health,” added the family member.
U Tun Lwin represented the ALD in State Hluttaw after the
2015 election in Kyaukphyu township.
Often he answered queries from the media persons about
Kyaukphyu and continues to be a member of the Kyaukphyu social network.
The ALD secured 11 seats in Rakhine State during the
1990 general elections. However, the party was dissolved as it failed to
re-register with the current election commission under the military junta.
