Struggling to crush the two-month-old protest movement against a coup, Myanmar’s military rulers are cracking down on the country’s best-known actors and celebrities to block any support for the opposition campaign.
More than 50 soldiers came to arrest Paing Takhon, a 24-year-old model and actor who had spoken out against the coup, on Thursday, his sister told Reuters. He was taken away and his current whereabouts are unknown.
