Burmese military government is so afraid of an old man because of the fact that he always speaks the truth. U Win Tin, age 75, is in jail since 1989 until now. It was almost 16 years he spent his life in jail.
While he was in jail, the MI took him out and showed their exhibition which was made as propaganda giving false information about 8888 mass uprising. U Win Tin, despite he was in the mercy of MI, gave 25 pages long sharp criticism on exhibition.
He was never swayed by the army authorities and prepared to fight them until the Burmese dictator fall.

The following article about U Win Tin is from Irrawaddy news magazine. It seems like the page there is not permanent for that article. So, I paste it here.
