Dr. Nay Soe Maung, the son-in-law of former military dictator Senior General Than Shwe, has been formally arrested by the junta.

According to the statement, his arrest was related to inciting others, disseminating propaganda, and threatening people on social media in an effort to weaken state stability, frighten the populace, and topple the government.

The statement claims that on October 23 at around 6:30 p.m., Dr. Nay Soe Maung, the owner of the Dr. Nay Soe Maung Facebook page, was taken into custody at the Pyigyitagon police station in Mandalay.

The statement did not, however, elaborate on how Dr. Nay Soe Maung disrupted the junta's activities and threatened national stability through his social media website.

Daw Kyi Kyi Shwe, the daughter of former military dictator Senior General Than Shwe, is the spouse of Dr. Nay Soe Maung. In addition, he is the father of one of Than Shwe's favorite grandkids, Nay Shwe Thway Aung.

In addition to being the rector of the University of Public Health, he retired as a colonel from the Myanmar Army Medical Corps. ( Photo- Khit Thit)
