BBC reporter deported from airport by junta
Chiang Mai – The Burmese military junta deported a BBC reporter from the Rangoon airport yesterday. The British national Mr. Andrew William Fardae arrived in the Thai Airways International at Rangoon airport in May 5 afternoon but was deported from the airport by the regime authorities.
The government's MRTV announced today that Mr. Andrew William Fardae had visited Burma with a tourist visa previously but he violated the tourist visa and thus he was the black listed by the government. It added that the BBC reporter had entered the country and stayed from June 6 to 13 in 2006 and in September 2007 with a tourist visa.
He was holding a new passport number when he tried to enter into the country, the government alleged.
