Burmese editor Zaw Thet Htwe has been arrested for helping to distribute food and clothes to people affected by the cyclone. Banned by government censors from writing about the tragedy in his magazine, Love Journal, he decided to act instead. But his wife, fellow journalist Ma Khine Cho, told an exile radio station he was detained by military police and their Rangoon home was searched.
In 2003, Zaw Thet Htwe was arrested, tortured and sentenced to death on a charge of high treason. The supreme court commuted his sentence to three years in prison and he was released in 2005. At least eight journalists and one blogger are currently in prison in Burma. (Via Reporters without borders)
