Tin Oo, who is frail and in his late seventies, had been in Kale prison in remote northwestern Myanmar since May 30 last year, following a crackdown on the NLD launched after the entourage of its leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, was attacked by a pro-junta mob.

The crackdown saw the detention of Aung San Suu Kyi, who was moved to house arrest in September, and other top NLD officials.
