tried his best, his mother had passed away within minutes.

His mother, Lone Ma, a 45 years old woman who had been suffering due to oppression of the Junta since her birth had committed suicide in April. So, Is Lone Ma such a weak person who chose suicide? (2/)

How much did she suffer before the decision of suicide?

Lone Ma Nyein Chan is the daughter of famous Poet AungPwint who was detained for 4th time for his bitter opposition to Coup and General Nay Win from 1977-to 1988. She was born while her father was detained in the prison(3/)

and started her life by sending things to her prisoner dad.

Her name, "Lone Ma Nyein Chan" the meaning "Peaceful Lone Ma" was given by her dad in order to be a peaceful country. Her brother,Nyein Chan had decided to fight against Junta and went to the liberated area in 1988,(4)

the last time their father was detained. Since that time, she had to struggle with her mother to provide for his dad and brother. Even though, her father had released in 2005, but died in November 2018 after living with his family as a chronically ill patient.

After Myanmar Junta had seized the power in February 2021, Lone Ma's husband was one of the civilians who had protested against the Coup. Her husband was also arrested in February 2021 too. But, she didn't give up. She worked so hard for being able to send necessary things to(6/)

In August, his son said she suffered a series of psychological traumas that led to her suicide after she was warned in private by Prison officials for sending letters to her husband in the prison.Nobody knows what the Prison Officials had told her.Since then, permission to (7/)

send her husband was banned, and lost contact with her husband only once in August. Her mental illness had decreased gradually.
On April 1, Junta's court had sentenced her husband 2 years in prison for the charge of 505(A) and he still needs to face other charges. (8/)

Before a day of committing suicide, she had only seen her husband in prison clothes from far away after the Court. After this, she committed suicide on April 2.

According to her friends, Lonma is mild-tempered but hard-hearted and not weak-minded.(9/)

After suffering continuous oppression from Myanmar Juntas and Coup, a strong woman left the world by leaving her 17 years old son alone. In Myanmar, lots of people are suffering from depression and a series of traumas since the Coup. And, Lone Ma is one of them. (10/)

The last wish of her son is getting permission from Prison officials for letting his dad to send last journey of his mom together. But,that was rejected. According to some reports, his dad also tried to commit suicide for not being able to see his wife for last time. (11/)

Currently,the 17 years old son of Lon Ma is currently fleeing and hiding from Junta's arrest. How many families in Myanmar had been separated like this? How many of innocent youths became homeless and stateless?(12/)

In Myanmar, lots of people are suffering from depression and a series of traumas since the Coup started. And, Lone Ma is one of them. Junta’s not only killing the civilians with armed forces but also psychologically giving traumas to the people. (13/)
