Description: (President of Burma from 27 July to 12 August 1988)
Sein Lwin, a Burmese politician and retired military general in the Myanmar Army, briefly served as the sixth president of Burma in 1988. He gained notoriety as the "Butcher of Rangoon" for his brutal suppression of student-led demonstrations in the capital. Sein Lwin was closely associated with Ne Win and was responsible for ruthlessly crushing dissent, especially during the violent antigovernment protests in 1962 that led to the deaths of many university students.
