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.
