-

YANGON: A French tourist has been arrested for flying a drone near Myanmar's parliament in the capital Naypyidaw, the French embassy and local police confirmed Monday, under a law that could see him imprisoned for up to three years. The man, named by police as 27-year-old Arthur Desclaux, tried to fly a drone over the government building, which is illegal in Myanmar. Three journalist­s and their driver were jailed in 2017 for the same offence. Local media published photos of the French detainee, including his passport details, and his drone.
