On 14 June 2008, on the way back to Rangoon from Chay Chaung village in Bogale Township in the Irrawaddy delta region, members of The Group That Buries The Dead were arrested by Military Affairs Security (MAS). Before their arrest, they had helped to gather and bury or cremate over 200 bodies in the Irrawaddy Delta area. The group was led by Aung Kyaw San and Dr Nay Win, both former political prisoners. Dr Nay Win has already spent 15 years in jail. At the time of arrest, Aung Kyaw San was publisher of the Tribune Journal. He has previously spent 6 years in jail. A number of young people were also arrested for participating in the group’s activities, including Dr Nay Win’s daughter Phyo Phyo Aung and fellow students and members of the All Burma Federation of Student Unions (ABFSU) Shein Yazar Tun, Lin Htet Naing aka Aung Thant Zin Oo, and Phone Pyeit Kywe. All of the students were involved in the protests at the time of the Saffron Revolution in September 2007, but went into hiding at the time of the crackdown on the monks. After Cyclone Nargis struck Burma, they came out of hiding to help gather dead bodies.
