Police have filed an obscenity charge against the author of a new novel. Author Aung Yin Nyein has sparked a storm of controversy with his sexually explicit novel, Romanbot , which has since been withdrawn from the market. Police in
Thingangyun township said they had filed a charge against the author under section 292 of the Penal Code, which relates to the sale, hire or distribution of an obscene book. While hard copies of the book are no longer available, PDF versions were
