After an extraordinary week in which government, military and religious figures rounded on Myanmar’s most notorious Buddhist nationalist group, one of its members now faces potential legal action over an infamous speech denouncing a United Nations representative.
The leader of a civil society group calling itself “National Bodyguard” lodged a complaint against U Wirathu, one of the most prominent and outspoken members of Ma Ba Tha, at the Tarmwe Township police station on Monday.
Meanwhile, as the State Sangha Maha Nayaka Committee met this week to consider whether or not to dissolve Ma Ba Tha, Wirathu took to Facebook on Wednesday to allege the government was conspiring to disband Ma Ba Tha and return him to prison. (Courtesy of frontiermyanmar.net)
