Longtime political activist and writer U Hla Shwe died of COVID-19 at the age of 84 at his home in Yangon’s North Dagon Township on Thursday.

“My father passed away after having the last breath [from] an oxygen cylinder. He objected to the military dictatorship until his death,” his daughter Ma Nay Chi posted on Facebook on Thursday night.
