Shan State Communist Party

The Shan State Communist Party was a communist party in Shan State, Burma. The party was founded in 1956 by Moh Heng, a commander of the Communist Party of Burma in Lawksawk, in protest of a decision by the CPB leadership to reject the creation of a separate party committee for Shan State.
The party leadership consisted of Bo Hla Min, Bo Min Thaung, Bo Tun Lin, Bo Moe Hein, Saw Lwin, Ba Din, Ohn Pwint and Hlaw Ywet Kan.
On 10 May 1958, 251 armed fighters and 150 other party members surrendered to the government.
