Mya Aye

Who is Mya Aye?

Mya Aye is one of the leaders of the 8888 generation pro-democracy student activists in Burma. He was elected as the Politician of the Year 2006 by readers of the Burma Digest.

He has led a campaign for a signature petition to release all political prisoners when most of the political leaders were imprisoned by the Myanmar Military Junta, SPDC, in order to silence their opposition. He took over all responsibilities after Min Ko Naing, Pyone Cho, Min Za Ya, Htay Kywe and Ko Ko Gyi were arrested.
