Two charged for insulting Suu Kyi

A member of Myanmar's ruling pro-democracy party has pressed charges against two villagers for insulting Aung San Suu Kyi, a police officer said yesterday. The two men were charged for allegedly going on an obscenity-laced rant against her after a heavy evening drinking session in a village not far from the capital Naypyidaw. In July a local official in central Magway region was charged with defamation for referring to Suu Kyi with a slur on Facebook.
