YANGON: Police in Myanmar, where mobs this week desecrated mosques and burned homes, said yesterday they would charge a Muslim woman for blasphemy after she apparently collided with a young monk on the street, sparking the unrest.
Win Win Sein and another Muslim woman were detained by police in Oakkan, around 100km north of Yangon, following anti-Muslim attacks on Monday that left one dead.
“Altogether 21 people will be charged over their involvement in the violence,” said a local police official, who said calm had been restored. afp
