The nephew of arbitrarily detained Soe Min Naing, 37, holds his uncle's portrait. Myanmar military intelligence arrested Soe Min Naing, 26, while he was traveling to attend a wedding in Kunhein, Shan State on August 4, 2014. On January 12, 2015, the Taunggyi District Court sentenced him in a trial that failed to meet fair trial standards to 14 years' imprisonment with hard labor under sections 5(J) and 5(L) of the 1950 Emergency Provisions Act. In October 2016, the Myanmar government repealed the notoriously controversial 1950 Emergency Provisions Act, yet Soe Min Naing remains detained in Myaung Mya prison under the now defunct Act.
