The Arakan Army (AA) has criticised the arrest of its leader’s sister and her ailing husband at Yangon International Airport over the weekend.
Khaing Thukha, the group’s spokesperson, said the arrest of Ma Moe Hnin Phyu and her husband, Ko Kyaw Naing, could worsen the conflict.
Ma Moe Hnin Phyu is the sister of AA chief Tun Myat Naing.
“They are not connected to the AA, and the current issue should be solved in political ways,” Khaing Thukha said, adding that the arrest had damaged the government’s reputation.
