…for the first time in 20 years, according to Democratic Voice of Burma.
“Recently released National League for Democracy leader Win Tin is celebrating his birthday today for the first time as a free man in 20 years.
Win Tin turns 79 today, and will share his birthday with imprisoned NLD vice-chairman Tin Oo, who is 82, and 88 generation student leader Mya Aye, who is 43.
Win Tin said he has no plans to celebrate his birthday with a proper ceremony but hopes to mark it with a small dinner party.
"Be not afraid as it is the most important thing,” said Win Tin. “Be not afraid of the army, the government, prison, court, police and the like.
“Be not afraid of anyone. As Daw Suu said, ‘be afraid with your eyes open’. I also want to preach this,” said Win Tin.”
It is very good news that Win Tin has been released – but there are still many more like him in Burma’s prisons.
