                Three Arrested in Myanmar for Insulting Religion

   by VOA News

   A New Zealand bar manager and two locals have been arrested in Myanmar,
   also known as Burma, for allegedly insulting Buddhism in an on-line
   promotion.

   Philip Blackwood and two of his employees were arrested Thursday for
   promoting their bar with a psychedelic image of Buddha wearing
   headphones. The bar is located in Myanmar's main city, Yangon.

   The three are scheduled to appear in court next week to face a charge
   of insulting religion, which carries a penalty of up to two years in
   prison.

   The arrests come during a surge of religious clashes in Myanmar between
   Buddhists and Muslims.
