Myanmar trial begins over 'Buddha insult'
A New Zealander and two Burmese men have gone on trial in Myanmar on charges of insulting Buddhism.
They were arrested last week, after posting an image on Facebook featuring a psychedelic picture of Buddha wearing large headphones to promote a drinks event.
If convicted, they could face two years in prison.
From Yangon, Jonah Fisher reports.
