Myanmar's religious affairs ministry Saturday issued a press release that it simply objects this week's Time magazine issue featuring the cover of self acclaimed "radical monk" Wirathu with the title "The Face of Buddhist Terror" and author Hannah Beech.
The objection came a few days after the emergency committee banned the distribution of this week's Time issue in Myanmar, raising concerns for return of draconian press censorship to the previously strict country.
The ministry's press statement said the article "robs the Buddhsits of dignity" and could incite unnecessary religious violence.
Myanmar is facing the challenges of sectarian violence that torn the western part of the country, resurfaced in the central town of Meiktila and spread to the other parts recently, forcing some towns under curfew.
