Than Tun of the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) in Kangyidaunk Township, Ayeyawady Region, who is accused of uploading a digitally manipulated photo of Aung San Suu Kyi, chairperson of National League for Democracy, on his Facebook page, has appeared in court.
On a page named “Thu Thu”, he posted a fake photo captioned: “Mother Suu, who will compete in 2015.” The alleged account owner is Than Tun, the joint head of the Kangyidaunk USDP.
On October 17, Sithu Aung, on behalf of a Kangyidaunk youth group, lodged a complaint with the township police.
Than Tun was arrested on October 20 under Section 66(D) of the Electronic Communications Law and held until November 2 before securing bail.
He received medical treatment at Kangyidaunk and Pathein hospitals as he was suffering from abdominal disease.
He was arrested again on November 25. (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
