News at Eleven: "Sithu Zeya had been forced

to reveal under torture that his father, Maung Maung Zeya, also served as an undercover DVB reporter," the organisation says.

Maung Maung Zeya, 57, who also worked with DVB, was arrested at his home in Rangoon, soon after his son was detained.

A poet and essayist, he was eventually sentenced to 13 years in prison, and is now incarcerated in Hsipaw prison, hundreds of kilometres from Rangoon. Toe Zaw Latt says Maung Maung Zeya was doped during his interrogation, and another of his sons has been forced to flee.
