Soe Naing was arrested in Yangon while taking photos of a ‘silent strike’ protest against
MILITARY rule

A freelance photojournalist in
Myanmar has died in military custody after being arrested last week while covering
protests.
Soe Naing is the first journalist known to have died in custody since the army seized power in February, ousting the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi. More than 100 journalists have been detained since then, though about half have been released.
