township, Sagaing division went missing after he attended the mystically
powerful Than-bou-de Pagoda festival in Mounywa District on 13 November
1998. It was only on the 1 April 1999, from a letter written five
months earlier that his relatives and friends came to know that he was
undergoing military training at Gjubyu, Division Training Center 1.
2. When Maung Myint Soe's elder brother who is a Buddhist monk (Ashin
Kat-ku-tha-re-ya) followed up, he was directed to Indaing (No.3 Armoured
Battalion) where he found his younger brother undergoing further training.
3. Our information is that Maung Myint Soe did not join the army of his
own volition. It was at daggers point that he was abducted by four
soldiers in uniform on his return from the festival at about 1:00 a.m.
Only the next day he was aware of having arrived at Mandalay. Those
responsible for the abduction were Corporal Tint Naing and his group
from No 10 Tank Battalion at A-ya-daw..."
