Myanmar arrests Lethwei legend Too Too for protesting against military coup

According to The Irrawaddy Burmese Lethwei icon Too Too (sometimes written as Tu Tu) was arrested last week on suspicion of taking part in demonstrations against the 2021 military coup in Myanmar. Too Too was reportedly arrested at his home in Munbu Township in Mynamar’s Magwe Region.

Myanmar’s democratically elected National League for Democracy (NLD) party was overthrown by Myanmar’s military, known as the Tatmadaw, on February 1, 2021. Since then there have been mass protests across the country. The Tatmadaw has cracked down on these protests, leading to the deaths of over 1,700 people.
