“I went and met with my son at about 8 [am] today. I didn’t see that he was handcuffed. We had time to talk,” said father of Khin Maung San.
The other detainees who were able to meet their relatives, including two residents of Kan Pyin Yin village in Rathedaung Township and one from Yoe Chaung village in Myebon Township. The other seven detainees didn’t receive any family members because their families haven’t got any news about them.
