The 88 Generation Group visit visit Aung San Suu Kyi's cousins

According to DPA - Members of The 88 Generation Group paid a visit to U Cho Aung Than and Daw Nge Ma Ma Than, cousins to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi (who has been under house arrest since May 27, 2003) at their apartment in Yankin Township in Yangon. According to the report, the visit was led by Ko Min Ko Naing, who was released from prison himself in 2004 and according to Amnesty International, who once famously said "If we want to enjoy the same rights as people in other countries, we have to be disciplined, united and brave enough to stand up to the dictators."

The article reports that the 88 Generation's Group's decision to visit Daw Suu's relatives caught Myanmar's security personnel by surprise, and did not stop the visit from happening. I wonder how many Military Intelligence personnel were in hot water for it.

I am also wondering when U Cho Aung Than and Daw Nge Ma Ma Than were released form prison, as according to an archived article from BurmaLibrary.org, they were each sentenced to 10 years in prison for "breaching the Unlawful Association Act" for allegedly giving Daw Suu some money from two foreign activists Phillip Robertson and John Osolnick. Daw Suu has denied ever receiving the money but her cousins were said to have been jailed, never the less. Read the article here.
