A US citizen named Kyaw Zaw Lwin has been in prison in Myanmar…also known as Burma…for nearly two months. He was born there but has been living as a dissident in exile for 20 years. Recently he went back and was arrested. Reporter Bruce Wallace speaks with his fiancee, Wa Wa Kyaw, at her home outside of Washington, to find out the latest in the case.
