Ex-Dictator Ne Win’s Relatives Are Arrested
Myanmar authorities have arrested a son-in-law and two grandsons of former dictator Ne Win and sealed off the family home in the capital, Yangon, relatives said.
There was no official statement from the military government for the move against the family of the man who ruled Myanmar, formerly Burma, for 26 years until his retirement in 1988.
Ne Win’s son-in-law, Aye Zaw Win, was arrested Thursday, the family members said. Aye Zaw Win’s two adult sons also were arrested.
The house the three share with Ne Win, 90, and his daughter Sandar Win--Aye Zaw Win’s wife--was blocked with street barricades Friday morning, neighbors said.
