Poet, artist, and legal practitioner Lwin Aung, also known as Nayi, was arrested by the military junta on March 12, 2021 in Myeik city shortly before he was supposed to represent fellow poet Maung Yu Pyi in court. His arrest was reported by PEN International, though details remained unconfirmed at the time. Before his arrest, he was actively engaged in artistic and legal advocacy. Lwin Aung was reportedly released toward the end of 2021.
