Ne Win took control again, however, in a 1962 coup d'état. For the next two years, "Kyemon" continued to publish "open criticism" of the military rule of Ne Win's new party, the Burma Socialist Programme Party. In 1964, U Thaung, along with three other editors, was arrested for his writing and imprisoned without charge. "Kyemon" was nationalized on 1 September 1964, followed by several other papers, marking the end of a free Burmese press for more than fifty years.
