A prison court in Mandalay began its examination of detained Mandalay region chief minister Zaw Myint Maung on Monday after he pleaded not guilty to the incitement charge filed against him by the junta, according to a member of his legal defence team.
The military council accused the 70-year-old politician of violating Section 505b of the Penal Code after the central executive committee of his party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), released statements that the junta objected to following the February 1 coup.
Section 505b previously outlawed “any statement, rumour or report” likely to induce people to “commit an offence against the state,” and carries a three-year prison sentence if convicted.
The military council arrested several cabinet members of the ousted Mandalay regional government, including municipal committee members, and has been holding trials for them either through video conferencing software or at a closed prison court.

Hard to keep track without OBK.
It was hard to keep track WITH OBK but especially hard now.

The military took over the country in a fraudulent election and are now jailing the opposition on Trumped up incitement charges
The story sounds familiar but I can't quite put my finger on it
The democrats definitely support the Junta. -
