One of Myanmar’s highest-paid actresses, Paing Phyo Thu, along with her director husband, Na Gyi, have gone into hiding after his name appeared on an arrest list, along with a number of other celebrities who have been accused of using their platform to oppose the State Administration Council, CNN reported.

A police statement on Wednesday said Na Gyi, two other prominent directors, two actors and a singer, were wanted for "using their popularity and encouraging responsible civil servants to participate in CDM, encouraging civil servants to participate in protests."

The notice from the governing State Administration Council said information on the whereabouts of the actor Payeti Oo, Director Ko Pauk, actor Lu Min, director Wine, director Na Gyi and singer Anatga was needed by the Myanmar Police Force.
