A new editor-in-chief has been appointed to the Burmese newspaper, the Myanmar Times, following last week's arrest of the paper's Australian founder, Ross Dunkley.
Dunkley was detained last Thursday on immigration charges, although the exact reasons for his arrest are unclear
He has been replaced as the paper's editor by its Burmese co-owner, Tin Htun Oo.
Another co-owner, the Australian mining executive Bill Clough, is in Burma negotiating with authorities for Dunkley's release.
The Myanmar Times, which is published in English and Burmese, is a weekly. It is perceived as being close to the government and is subject to rigorous censorship.
