Elected Shan leader’s house damaged
The roofs of the house of Khun Tun Oo, elected in 1990 and sentenced to 93 years in prison in 2005, at 9th Mile Shan village, Rangoon, were blown away during the cyclonic storm that hit southern Burma on 2-3 May, reported sources from Rangoon.
The house of Sai Nyunt Lwin aka Sai Nood, General Secretary of the Shan
Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD) headed by Khun Tun Oo, next door
suffered a worse fate. A mango tree, broken by the wind, had collapsed on it.
Sai Nood was sentenced to 85 years in prison along with Khun Tun Oo and 7 other
members by junta authorities.
Some damages were also reported at the Shan monastery Aung Myay Bontha across
the street.
More than 100,000 Shans are believed to reside in Rangoon,
Okkan, Twantay and Taikkyi in Rangoon
division and Phyu, Taw Kywe Inn, Mone, Toungoo and Shwe Kyin in Pegu division.
