The military junta in Burma has detained four prominent Burmese dissidents as part of a continued crackdown down on critics of the military regime. Htay Kywe was detained after being the target of a huge two-month manhunt. He has been one of Burma’s leading pro-democracy activists since he helped lead the student uprising in 1988. He has already spent 15 of the past 20 years in jail. Just prior to his arrest Kywe told the BBC that the military regime is attempting to destroy the entire opposition movement in Burma. U.N. envoy Ibrahim Gambari described the recent arrests as extremely disturbing.
