Singaporean freelance camera man Lau Hon Meng and
Malaysian documentary producer Mok Choy Lin were sentenced to two months in
jail for using a drone, breaching Myanmar’s Aircraft Act, details The Strait Times.
Persons victimized by a breach of contract in Thailand should seek attorneys with contract and litigation experience, court disputes between Thai and foreign entities may potentially be heard by the Court of Intellectual Property and International Trade Law.
Although, Myanmar technically doesn’t have any
specific legislation outlawing the use of drones, authorities do not like them
over their territories. They are being charged with violating the Export and
Import law. Those who export/import prohibited goods can be fined and jailed up
to three years.
On top of the drone charges, immigration officials
are also trying to charge the pair and their two interpreters for violating the
1947 Immigration Act. Under this Act, individuals who remain in the country
after the infringement of rules can be fined and jailed up to five years.
Lau and Mok’s defense attorneys are currently
working on getting the export and import charges dismissed.
