Political activities
According to the All Burma Students' Democratic Front, U Tin Tun bought a copy of Khit Pyaing, a banned political publication, for Ks.3,000/-, according to a close relative of Tin Tun, and was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment under two different charges of violating the Emergency Provision Act and the Publishing and Printing Act.
The State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) transferred Tin Tun on Friday, 14 November 1997, from Insein Attached Jail (Special Jail) in Rangoon to Thayawaddy Prison in central Burma. The junta released Tin Tun from jail early in 2004. Tin Tun was not freed for completing his sentence, but released on health grounds and on the condition that serves the remainder of the sentence if he is jailed again for political or other offenses.
Tin Tun's son Phone Myint Tun, currently in Japan, told Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB) that his father is suffering from severe coronary atherosclerosis and could not even walk properly. Phone Myint Tun himself was jailed as a political prisoner from 1991 to 1995 and shared a cell with his father in jail.
