YANGON, May 10 (Xinhuanet) -- The trial on former President U Ne
Win's son-in-law U Aye Zaw Win and his three grandsons was
adjourned on Friday after the accused failed to find a lawyer to
plead for them.
   The four were charged with plotting to seize power from the
present military government.
   According to the tribunal set up in Yangon's Insein jail, the
four will face death penalties if found guilty.
   U Aye Zaw Win told the court: "We have tried, but no lawyer
could be found."
   The judge Aung Ngwe declared adjournment of the trial until May
15, saying that the court would find a lawyer for the accused on
their behalf in face of probable death sentences.
   Although the four were charged with high treason, but judicial
sources said they are unlikely to get death penalties, but would
serve long prison terms instead.
    There have been over 100 people, including four high-ranking
officials, were detained last month and interrogated in connection
with the conspiracy case.
   Friday's hearing was the third since it began on May 3.
   According to the court, besides the conspiracy case, cases
relating to their economic offenses such as illegal import and
possession of communications equipment were also heard.
   U Aye Zaw Win and his three sons -- Aye Ne Win, Kyaw Ne Win and
Zwe Ne Win -- were arrested by the government on March 7 this year
when they were discussing a conspiracy with an unidentified
military commander to seize power.
   Four high-ranking officials, including an air force chief, two
regional commanders and a police chief, were suspected of being
involved in the case.
   Since then, Ne Win and his daughter Sandar Win have been under
house arrest and investigation into the case underway.
   The present government came to power on September 18, 1988,
while Ne Win ruled the country from 1962 to 1988.  Enditem
