Health fears for online activist denied bail
- 8 years ago
A Kachin man being tried for posting a mocking image on Facebook was denied bail on Monday, despite his ailing health.
The defence team representing Patrick Kum Jaa Lee say the activist is suffering from asthma attacks in prison, where he has been held since 14 October. His arrest followed the posting of picture of a person in Kachin traditional clothing stepping on a photo of Burma’s military commander-in-chief, Sen. Gen. Min Aung Hlaing.
