With the ongoing turmoil in Myanmar, more resistance group to the ruling junta were arrested. Myanmar poet, Khet Thi was one of them. He died in detention overnight with his body returned without organs, his family said on Sunday, May 9. 

Khet Thi's wife said the both of them were taken for interrogation on Saturday by armed soldiers and police in the central town of Shwebo. 

"I was interrogated. So was he. They said he was at the interrogation centre. But he didn't come back, only his body," his wife Chaw Su told BBC.

When she was called to meet him in the hospital, she didn't expect to meet him in the morgue and his internal organs were taken out. 

The hospital told Chaw Su that Khet Thi died from a heart problem but she knew it is not the case. It was unclear why she knew her husband's organs had been removed. 

The army had planned to bury Khet Thi immediately but Chaw Su pleaded for the body. 

The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners activist group said in their bulletin that Khet Thi died at the hospital after being tortured in the interrogation centre. 

Khet Thi was amongst the three poets who died during the protest since February 1 coup.

Khet Thi wrote:

"I don't want to be a hero, I don't want to be a martyr, I don't want to be a weakling, I don't want to be a fool," he wrote two weeks after the coup.

"I don't want to support injustice. If I have only a minute to live, I want my conscience to be clean for that minute."

Khet Thi was only 45.
