Three men were arrested in Burma after Buddhist monks complained about an online flyer that used a picture of the Buddha, reports WorldBulletin.
Following complaints by a group of Buddhist monks known as the Ma Ba Tha, one New Zealander and two Burmese locals were placed in prison after being charged under a law that forbids insulting religion.
The Bar managers could face up to two years in prison.
Earlier this year a Canadian man was deported from Myanmar after locals noticed a Buddha tattoo on his leg.
Similar incidents have happened across Sri Lanka. In April a British tourist was deported due to a picture of the Buddha tattooed on her arm.
