Soe Win

Soe Win
▪ 2008
 Myanmar military leader
born 1948, Burma

died Oct. 12, 2007, Yangon [Rangoon], Myanmar [Burma]
was prime minister of Myanmar from 2004 and was associated with two bloody suppressions of the democracy movement. Soe Win was one of the commanders in charge of the violent crackdown in 1988 on a pro-democracy uprising in which some 3,000 protesters were believed to have been killed. He became a member of the ruling junta in 1997. On May 30, 2003, National League for Democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi (briefly not under house arrest) undertook a journey with her supporters out of the capital, but the convoy was brutally attacked in Dipeyin, and dozens of people were killed. Soe Win was believed to have ordered the attack, which earned him the sobriquet “the butcher of Dipeyin.” He was elevated to the position of prime minister when his predecessor, the more moderate Khin Nyunt, was purged.
