A Japanese freelance journalist detained by security forces in Myanmar's largest city Yangon, has been investigated for allegedly spreading fake news, the Japanese Embassy in Myanmar said Monday.
Yuki Kitazumi, a former reporter for the Tokyo-based Nikkei business daily, who now lives in Yangon, was detained at his home on Sunday night and taken away in a police vehicle, local media reported.
Kitazumi has been moved to Insein prison in Yangon, where many political detainees are imprisoned, the embassy said earlier Monday.
