Bo Bo Han was one of a thousand students who, on the 10th and 11th December 1991, demonstrated for the release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and other political prisoners in Yangon and Mandalya. Suu Kyi was under house arrest since 20th July 1989, and on 19th December 1991 she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
At 10a.m. on the 10th December, the students started to gather in the campus of the Art and Science University of Yangon, with the flag of the Federation of the Students' Union of Burma (ABFSU) and with posters that were asking to release Suu Kyi and the other political prisoners, the power transfer from the military authority to the civil authority and the resignation of the council for the Law and the State Order (SLORC). In the afternoon, the students decided to hold another demonstration the day after and went away. That evening about 150 of the demonstrators were arrested while socialising, in the streets around the university, in their houses and in the dormitories.
At 10a.m. on the 11th December, 2500 students met them in the campus to demonstrate. The police and military forces surrounded the University, but allowed them to continue their protest until the afternoon. The demonstration was peaceful, but in the afternoon the Tatmadaw (the army) and the police came onto the campus and started to arrest the demonstrators, some of them there, others in their houses and dormitories later on. Some were directly taken to the Insein prison. Those who were believed to be the leaders of the protest were first taken to Military Intelligence (MI) headquarters. It would appear that here the students were tortured to force them to reveal the names of the demonstrators. The arrests went on all night on the 11th and the University of Yangon and Mandalay were closed that same night. Bo Bo Han came from the Insein district, in Yangon. He was one of the organising leaders of the demonstrations; after the events of 1988 he remained in Yangon and he organised the clandestine student's movement.
