Blogger charged with offending generals
10 July 2008 at 06h52

A Myanmar court has charged popular local blogger Nay Phone Latt with causing "public offence" by posting caricatures of the country's ruling generals on the Internet, his lawyer said on Wednesday.
His friend Thin July Kyaw was also charged on Tuesday with violating video and electronic laws in the former Burma, where the media is tightly controlled by the military government.
Nay Phone Latt, a former youth member of Aung San Suu Kyi's opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) ran three Internet cafes in the former capital Yangon. He was arrested with his friend were arrested in January.
The two were charged under section 505 (b) of the Penal Code for "inducing public offence to the state or against public tranquillity", their lawyer Aung Thein told Reuters.
He said Nay Phone Latt was also charged under the Electronic Act "for posting caricatures of regime leaders on his blogs".
The junta was caught by surprise last year when bloggers and citizen journalists relayed pictures and video to the outside world of the regime's crackdown on monk-led protests against military rule and economic hardship.
