Myanmar woman sentenced to six months for a Facebook post

‘A woman in Myanmar has been sentenced to six months in jail for a Facebook post that makes fun of the country’s military.

Chaw Sandi Tun was arrested in October for her Facebook post, which compared the color of the army chief’s uniform with a longyi (sarong) worn by Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the National League for Democracy party.

“If you love mother that much, why don’t you wrap mother’s longyi on your head?” it read.

The political activist was sentenced under Section 66(d) of the Telecommunications Law, which bans defamation and ‘disturbing’ people.’
