A blogger and member of Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy who wrote about the lack of free expression in Burma (Myanmar technically) has been arrested. Nay Myo Latt owns three Internet Cafes and recently commented on the suppression of freedom following the demonstrations this fall according to a release from Reporters Without Borders:

Myanmar authorities have stepped up their surveillance of the Internet since the beginning of the month, pressuring Internet cafe owners to register personal details of all users and to program screen captures every five minutes on each computer, the release said.

This data apparently is sent to the Ministry of Communications, it said.

The only blog platform that had been accessible within Myanmar, the Google-owned Blogger, has been blocked by the regime since Jan. 23, preventing bloggers from posting entries unless they use proxies or other ways to get around censorship, the group said.

”This blockage is one of the ways used by the government to reduce Burmese citizens to silence.Burma is in danger of being cut off from the rest of the world again,” the statement said. [The New York Times]
