tin Lynn* woke up early, threw on his disguise – a nylon jacket emblazoned with the logo of a food-delivery service – and hopped on his bicycle. As he wove in and out of the morning traffic, listening to street-food sellers drumming up custom and angry commuters honking their horns, it felt almost as though life in Yangon, Myanmar’s commercial capital, had returned to normal. If you ignored the soldiers stationed at every junction, you could almost pretend that the coup had never happened.
In 2015 he was old enough to vote in the first relatively free election in decades . Like millions of others, Htin Lynn voted for the National League for Democracy, led by Aung San Suu Kyi, who had spent 15 years under house arrest. Suu Kyi’s promises to reform Myanmar and consign the army to its barracks gave people hope. Her rule opened up new opportunities.
Htin Lynn wasn’t having any of it. The youth of Myanmar had come to enjoy new freedoms: holidays had been too expensive for his parents , but in recent years Burmese have begun travelling for pleasure. Htin Lynn wanted to learn Korean and visit South Korea. He also dreamed of starting his own delivery business and building a house for himself in a resort town in eastern Myanmar. He had everything to look forward to – and everything to lose.
Yangon had changed in the short time he’d been away. Demonstrations had died down and the city rumbled with explosions and crackled with gunfire. Protesters had become guerrillas, assassinating anyone associated with the junta, from soldiers and police officers to politicians and government officials. They bombed offices, homes and even schools.the jungle.
The junta claimed in June that 173 civilians had been killed by supporters of the National League for Democracy , Suu Kyi’s political party. In May an explosion at the wedding of a man alleged to be a military informant killed his bride and two others. I asked Htin Lynn, who supports the, whether he felt uneasy about all this. He said that his cell had tried to reduce the risk to civilians and called off two missions that might have put ordinary people at risk.
