U Hlaing Win Htut

I, Hlaing Win Htut, was born in Yangon on 4th April, 1990. I attended and completed primary, secondary and high school education in South Okkalapa, Yangon. I am also a first-year student specializing in Myanmar at the Dagon University.

AsayouthmemberoftheNationalLeagueforDemocracyN.L.D,Iperformedpolitical works from 2003 to 2011. In 2015, serving as a rescue worker of Yone-Kyi-Yar CharitableAssociation,IvisitedfloodedvillagesinPantanaw,AyeyarwadyRegionand in Thonse, south of Tharrawaddy, Bago Division to distribute some basic food items, medicalsuppliesanddrinkingwatertomanypeopleaffectedbythedisaster.Between 2018and2020,incollaborationwithAshinHtavarainNorwaywhoisaformerpolitical activist of the 2007 Saffron Revolution, I established several libraries, called Peace Library, in schools of Pyapon Township, Ayeyarwady Region. During the Covid-19 pandemic, I, closely associated with "We Love Yangon" and "the 88 Generation PeaceandOpenSociety",workedasavolunteertoprovidedirect-contactcaresuch as administering medicines to COVID-19 patients at Ywar-Thar-Gyi and Waibagi Hospital's quarantinecenters.

Since the military council S.A.C's coup on 1st February, 2021, I took to the streets to protest peacefully. I joined the defense teams in the townships of Yangon as well. Soon after the junta troops and police forces made brutal crackdowns on peaceful protests against the coup, I provided financial support for the families of the injured and the dead. Moreover, I directly made donations to CDMers, civil servants involved in the CDM movement, and provided their families with medical assistance. In May, 2021, since I distributed food aids to the locals in need in South Dagon, Thaketa and Dagon Seikkan townships, the general administrator of 104 Ward made a complaint to the military officials. The house where I kept the food aids was raided by the junta troops and the house owner was arrested, and the authorities inquired about me. But I managed to escape from their arrest. In mid-July, one of the activists, named Win Lae Phyu, with whom I had worked hand in hand for the anti-coup protests, was arrested by the military council. As the junta authorities found out my information in relation to supporting CDMers in her Facebook Chat Box, they tried to pursue and arrest me again. In November, 2021, while I was providing a clinic in Taungoo administrator by CDM doctors with medical supplies, the authorities tried to track me down and arrest me again there. Hiding and taking refuge in a building of a Social Welfare Aid Association, I could give financial support to CDMers with the help of U HtinLinandDawMarMarSanlivingintheNetherlands.Forthetimebeing,allmoney- transferableaccountsofminehavebeenfrozenandcontrolledbythemilitarycouncil. WhiletryingtopasstheThai-MyanmarborderillegallyfromKyaukKhatVillage,Kayen State, on 5th December, 2021, I was arrested by a squad of the Thai Police and the Thai army. After that, I was fortunately released on 19th December,2021.

As I am an illegal resident in Mae Sot, Thailand, it is not safe for me to stay a long time here. If I went back to Myanmar, I would be arrested, tortured and sentenced to several years in prison by the S.A.C. Therefore, as a stateless resident, I would respectfully like to request your kind consideration for protecting me and resettling in a safe place.

Yours Sincerely,
