The Myanmar military junta has arrested and filed a case against the son-in-law of the country’s ex-dictator Than Shwe for allegedly “damaging the state’s peace and stability” through his Facebook posts, in a challenge to the old dictator who handpicked the current regime leader as military chief in 2011.
This is significant because former dictator Than Shwe is the mentor to current dictator Min Aung Hlaing (MAL). It was Than Shwe who picked MAL to be military chief of staff and future dictator.
