Byu Har

A rapper in Myanmar, Byu Har, known for criticizing the military junta, has been arrested on charges of spreading propaganda. In a Facebook video, he criticized the junta’s handling of power outages and compared it unfavorably to the previous civilian government. Byu Har’s arrest is part of the junta’s broader crackdown on dissent, which has seen the arrest of thousands of individuals, including artists and celebrities. The power blackouts have further exacerbated the economic hardship caused by the military coup.
