A Rangoon man was detained by police on Wednesday for sharing a photoshopped image on his Facebook page of Commander-in-Chief Snr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing being trampled on.

Patrick Kum Jaa Lee, the husband of noted women’s rights activist May Sabe Phyu, was arrested at his home at 7:30pm last night. His family have reportedly not seen him since the arrest, and details are as yet unknown of the charges to be brought against him.

Patrick Kum Jaa Lee’s arrest is believed to be the third Facebook-related incident in two weeks.
