Sein Lwin

Sein Lwin (Burmese: စိန်လွင်, pronounced [sèiɴ lwɪ̀ɴ]; 27 January 1924 – 9 April 2004) was a Burmese politician and retired military general in the Myanmar Army. He was served as President of Myanmar for 17 days in 1988, following the resignation of San Yu. Sein Lwin was dubbed the “Butcher of Rangoon” for his brutal suppression of successive student-led demonstrations in the capital. He was served the brutal cohort of Ne Win and the man responsible for the ruthless suppression of dissent, notably antigovernment protests in 1962 in which scores of university students were slaughtered.
