Aung San Suu Kyi’s close ally passes away from leukaemia in Myanmar

Zaw Myint Maung, a close ally of Aung San Suu Kyi and a key member of the National League for Democracy (NLD), passed away from leukemia shortly after being released from junta custody on health reasons. He had spent many years in prison for opposing Myanmar’s military regime and was a vital figure in the NLD leadership. His death was a significant loss for the party and the pro-democracy movement in the country.

Following the military coup in 2021, Zaw Myint Maung was arrested and imprisoned on corruption charges along with other NLD members. However, he was recently released due to his deteriorating health condition. His passing has left a void within the NLD leadership, but they remain resolute in their commitment to continue the fight for democracy in Myanmar.

Zaw Myint Maung played a key role in the pro-democracy movement in Myanmar, particularly during the 1988 uprisings that brought Aung San Suu Kyi to prominence. He was a dedicated activist who sacrificed his freedom for the cause of democracy and was deeply respected by his colleagues and supporters. His death is a reminder of the sacrifices made by many individuals in the struggle against military rule.

Despite his long years of imprisonment and persecution by the military regime, Zaw Myint Maung never wavered in his commitment to the cause of democracy. He continued to be an active member of the NLD and played a significant role in the party’s leadership. His passing is a loss not only for the NLD but also for the wider pro-democracy movement in Myanmar.

The European Union’s delegation to Myanmar criticized the charges against Zaw Myint Maung as politically motivated and condemned the conditions of his detention as inhumane. His death just hours after his release raised questions about the sincerity of the authorities’ supposed clemency. The international community has expressed concern over the deteriorating human rights situation in Myanmar and continues to call for the release of political prisoners.

The legacy of Zaw Myint Maung as a tireless advocate for democracy and human rights in Myanmar will live on in the hearts of those who knew him and in the ongoing struggle for freedom and justice in the country. His passing is a reminder of the high personal cost that many activists and political prisoners have paid in their fight against dictatorship. The NLD and its allies will continue to honor his memory as they work towards a more inclusive and democratic future for Myanmar.
