A photojournalist, who was arrested for mocking Myanmar’s leaders on Facebook has been freed.
Aung Nay Myo expressed relief after walking out of Monywa prison on Monday, saying the charges against him were dropped and police returned his seized computer and phones.
Police arrested the freelancer last week, saying he would be charged with the 1950 Emergency Provision Act, which carries a maximum seven years in prison. The case involved a post on Facebook satirising President Thein Sein.
