Family members said he is good condition.
Win Tin was hospitalized on Saturday. An NLD spokesperson, Nyan Win, said he may remain in the clinic this week.
A family member told The Irrawaddy on Monday, “He was operated on successfully in Asia Taw Win Clinic last night.”
Win Tin, a former editor, was released from prison in September 2008 after serving 19 years in Rangoon’s notorious Insein Prison.
He served as an adviser to pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi and was sentenc
ed to 21 years in prison in 1989 during a crackdown on government opponents.
In 1996, he received an additional 7-year sentence for writing a testimonial on torture and the lack of medical treatment in Insein Prison, which he sent to the UN. As punishment, he was placed in solitary confinement in a room intended for dogs and was deprived of food and water.
He said a few hours after his release from prison, “I will keep fighting until the emergence of democracy in this country.”
