In Mawlamyaing Township, Mon State, some residents and members of NLD gathered at the Kyaikthoke Pagoda and made offerings in remembrance of Win Tin on April 23.
Some people in Taunggu Township, Bago Region, also held a praying ceremony for Hanthawady Win Tin at the NLD's Education School on the same day.
A memorial ceremony for Win Tin also took place at the office of the Karenni Youth Union that day. Major Saw Lwin of Kayan New Land Party made a speech and poets and activists recited Win Tin's poems at the ceremony.
