Aye Aung (
Aye Aung is the son of Thaung Sein and San Myint.
The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners has alleged that conditions of Aye Aung's imprisonment are poor.[6] In January 2005, his family reported that he was suffering from malaria, which was being worsened by prison officials denying him blankets in the winter.[6][7] His mother stated that he was also suffering from gastric disease and severe back pain due to prison conditions.[1]
In January 2012, Myo Min Zaw and dozens of other political prisoners were released in a general amnesty. However, Aye Aung remained imprisoned without an official statement on his case.[4] Aye Aung was released on 3 July 2012.[2]
