Who is Tin Tun?

Tin Tun is a jailed Burmese political dissident, Asian boxing champion, and one of the pioneers of the now-extinct Scouting movement in that nation, imprisoned under the Publishing and Printing Act in July 1993 for possessing a copy of the Khit Pyaing Journal, a banned news magazine published by exiled activists.

Tin Tun represented the Union of Burma Boy Scouts in the five-man Far East Scout Advisory Committee, which later became the Asia-Pacific Region.
