He made the announcement at a press conference held by the 88 students at the Open Society Institute, Yangon on August 9. Around 107 students who left Myanmar to join the ABSDF were accused of spying for the government in 1992 and 40 of them were executed.

Only 30 of them have been found. The remaining 70 are yet to be accounted for. We will ensured justice is delivered after the report from the Commission” said Myo Win.
