Statement : Phyo Wai Aung was an aspiring young electrical engineer with a loving family when in April 2010 police arrested him at home late one night for alleged involvement in a bomb attack at a crowded festival. They tortured him brutally for weeks to force him to confess to the crime, for which they had been unable to arrest the actual suspects.

Phyo Wai Aung was accused of taking part in a bomb plot in the X2O Yangon Water Festival and was tortured to get a confession. His trial process is still ongoing at  Yangon northern district judge. Furthermore, he has been denied the facilities usually given to detainees and that is why he has made a complaint via his family members to the chief of the States to take action on the responsible officials who have done this. The Asian Human Rights Commission has released Urgent Appeals, Statements and press releases related to his case. Similarly you can see documents related to him in this page.
