A photojournalist who was attacked during a rally by nationalists protesting Kofi Annan’s role in a Myanmar government advisory commission on Rakhine State has begun filing a lawsuit, the Anadolu Agency reported on 12 September.
Myat Thu Kyaw, a photojournalist working for the Myanmar Press-photo Agency, says he was punched by the protesters while trying to capture an argument between them and Yangon residents seeking to play football on Sunday.
Myat Thu Kyaw has already filed a police complaint on the attack, and began filing a lawsuit at the Bahan Township court on Monday, the report said.
