New Delhi – With the crackdown on anti-regime forces continuing unabated, the Burmese military junta on Wednesday arrested another opposition party leader, Ohn Kyaing from his residence in Rangoon, the party spokesperson said.
Nyan Win, spokesperson of the National League for Democracy, said Ohn Kyaing, an elected Member of Parliament of the 1990 general elections, was picked up from his home in South Okklapa Township on Wednesday midnight.
"At about 10 p.m. (local time) on Wednesday several officials raided and searched the house of Ohn Kyaing. They seized several documents and took him away at midnight," Nyan Win said.
The detained Nobel Peace Laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's party spokesperson, however, said details of the arrest of the MP are still not known.
"We don't know the reason behind his arrest. If he has been arrested, the way it is usually done by the authorities, I think we will never know the truth because they [authorities] never provide the truth," Nyan Win said.
He declined to give further opinion on the arrest saying guessing about the reasons behind his arrest could be dangerous for the MP.
