Minister’s Wife Shares Fake Facebook Photo of Suu Kyi in Islamic Headscarf

RANGOON — Ye Htut, Burma’s deputy minister for information and the presidential spokesman, has posted an apology note on Facebook after a storm of criticism followed his wife’s posting of a Photoshopped image of Aung San Suu Kyi in Islamic garb this week.

The post, of Suu Kyi wearing a hijab and being crowned with a tiara as “Woman of the Week,” criticized the opposition leader for her push to amend Burma’s Constitution and was shared widely on Facebook, with the minister’s wife, Khin Sandar Tun, among those who shared the picture.

Another post, urging people to speak out against a rumored plan to teach all of the world’s major religions in school, was also shared by his wife.
