Burma best-known comedian, Zarganar, was rearrested by Burmese authorities at his home on Monday evening, according to sources. A friend of the comedian told The Irrawaddy on Tuesday no charge had been leveled by the authorities, who said they wanted Zarganar for questioning. The authorities gave no indication of how long he would be held, the source said.
It’s suspected that Zarganar is again in trouble with the authorities for visiting monasteries following his release from his last stay in Insein prison on October 17. He had been arrested on September 25 for giving food and water to protesting monks during the September demonstrations.
