Ko Zarganar, a comedian and movie director, is being faced interrogation by the Special Branch police in his Rangoon residence at 8:30 PM Rangoon time.

His house is being searched by police but wasn’t clear what is the motive. He is very well known and respected about Nargis individual relief workers and people around the country donated emergency relief materials, food, clothing and medicine for Nargis refugees. His house turned to be a relief center and storage place for Nargis victims.

On the other hand, he openly criticized the government lies and propagandas to the Burmese radio interviews in terms of lack of government provided relief works and aids from UN and international agencies.

He recently returned from Delta and delivered the relief goods to the very remote villages by small boats with media and movie industry colleagues.

Sources said his lead volunteer works in Nargis relief works and very supportive from the domestic donors all over Burma. Police are still at his house and questioning him and others.

"Regime has been annoyed by he and other Burmese celebrities devoted actions for the refugees", one of the movie directors stressed.

In fact, dead bodies are floating in the rivers and creeks nearby houses in villages and even banks of Bogalay, Latputta and Pya Pone towns that could seen in his last video. “How come government announced that emergency relief works was over while dead bodies are still floating and no one from government comes and collect them and they dare to call its over?”
