Myanmar junta says arrested man for anti-election Facebook chat


YANGON: Myanmar's military said Wednesday (Dec 3) it arrested a man who sent anti-election messages in a private Facebook chat, wielding laws that rights groups say curb personal liberties to crush dissent.

The junta snatched power in a 2021 coup which plunged Myanmar into a many-sided civil war, but it promises that polls starting in late December will move the country towards peace and democracy.
