Canadian Pastor Guilty of Defying Myanmar’s Coronavirus Law

August 6, 2020 by Staff

(AP) A court in Myanmar on Thursday sentenced the Canadian pastor of an evangelical church to three months imprisonment after finding him guilty of violating a law intended to combat the spread of the coronavirus.

Myanmar-born David Lah was charged with flouting a ban on large gatherings by holding a religious meeting in Yangon on April 7.

Lah’s lawyer, Aung Kyi Win, said the court had found his client guilty of violating an article in the Natural Disaster Management Law because he failed to comply with a directive against gatherings.

A Myanmar colleague of Lah, Wai Tun, received the same sentence.
