Students Arrested in Mandalay for Graffiti Protest
By ZARNI MANN / THE IRRAWADDY| Thursday, July 2, 2015

Four students from Mandalay’s Yadanabon University were arrested on Monday after they spray-painted messages critical of the government on the university’s grounds.

Plainclothes police officers in Amarapura Township arrested Aung San Oo, Nyan Lin Htet and Jit Tu on Monday, according to their friends and family.

Naing Ye Wai, the president of Yadanabon University’s Student Union, was asked to present at the police station in Amarapura where he was also arrested and immediately sent to Mandalay’s Oh Bo prison.

“I was with Naing Ye Wai at the police station and the police suddenly said they must arrest him right away. A few minutes later, my son called me to say that he was arrested too,” said Aung San Win, the father of Aung San Oo.

“The police said they were responsible for a graffiti campaign last week and they sent them to prison via Amarapura police station,” he said.

These students are doing what students are supposed to be doing, protesting against the worlds

injustices. In a few years they will be on the other side if the line, benefiting from the injustices.

The junta has to realize this and react with restraint. coffee1.gif
