The accused was identified as sailor Hla Bhone, 38, from Mayangone Township. He allegedly posted manipulated pictures that depicted the senior general wearing a sarong as a turban, Thein Sein putting on footwear for the general as well as other personal attacks.
The case against Hla Bhone under the Electronic Communications Law Section 66(d) was opened by the Yangon military command. The investigation was conducted by the military before the police were asked to arrest him.
"According to his passport, he is a sailor making frequent overseas trips. We have confiscated his computer and are investigating the claims," said Deputy Superintendent Zaw Htun. (Courtesy of The Nation)
