Once there he could have taken rifle in hand and truly fought to free Burma but now he will perhaps perish in a Burmese prison, without ever getting the chance to ever stike back at the Junta. Only through armed struggle can the Burmese become free, if anyone thinks differently then they are the ones who need to go to , what the Junta calls "Myanmar "and see for themselves the cruel repression .

He supposedly owns two Internet Cafes in Thin-gan-gyun, a satellite township in Rangoon. His colleague, Thin July Kyaw, was sentenced to two years imprisonment while two weeks ago three defence lawyers were sentenced to between four to six months in prison. It appears that after letting some Burmese bloggers from Rangoon operate almost freely for a while the SPDC is now cracking down on them with vengeance!

This is obviously very sad, but I'm hoping it gets well-publicized in the Western media and brings further popular support to the Burmese cause. I am from the States, and if you asked anybody about Tibet they'd at least have an idea about it. If you brought up Burma or Myanmar, even just six months after Nargis, you'd probably get a blank stare. Does anybody know what this guy actually said?
