Chiang Mai – Authorities at Rangoon's notorious Insein prison for the first time allowed family members a meeting with detained Burmese blogger Nay Phone Latt.
Daw Khin Than, mother of Nay Phone Latt (Nay Myo Kyaw), and his brother went to the prison on Monday after Thingan Kyun Township police informed them that the Burmese blogger was being held in Insein, sources close to the family said.
"At about nine in the morning his mother and brother arrived at the prison with parcels for him. Initially the prison guard told them it was not clear whether they would be granted a meeting. But later the authorities said they would be allowed to visit with him. The meeting only lasted about 15 minutes. He is in good health," the source added.
Nay Phone Latt, who was arrested on January 29, was briefly detained at the Ministry of Home Affairs before being transferred to Room no. 1 of ward 1 in Insein prison, where he is reportedly kept along with another prisoner.
The source said Nay Phone Latt was charged with article 32 (b) of the Video Act, an offense punishable by up to six months of imprisonment, a fine of 100,000 kyat ($85), or both. |

"who put family second to country, who for her convictions made an unbearable choice — not to see her sons grow and not to be with her husband as he lost his life to a long and painful cancer. Suu Kyi, with an idea too big for any jail and a spirit too strong for any army, changes our view — as only real heroes can — of what we believe to be possible.",BONO
