A Myanmar Facebook user may face charge

A petition has been filed against nationalist firebrand Nay Myo Wai under the Telecommunications Law for posting derogatory remarks against state leaders and the National League for Democracy on his Facebook page.
The petition was filed by Wai Yan Aung from the All Myanmar Federation of Teachers at Kangyidaunk Myoma Police Station in Ayeyawady Region on May 2.

"I filed the petition against Nay Myo Wai, chairman of the Peace and Diversity Party, for his defamatory posts against the president, the state counsellor and the commander-in-chief of defence services. Among his posts, 15 are the worst. I’m doing this as an attempt to prevent both him and other instigators from disintegrating the union," said Wai Yan Aung. (Courtesy of The Nation)
