What do we know about the charges?
According to AP, Thein Zaw s lawyer said he faces charges under a law that punishes spreading false news, causing fear, or agitating for a criminal offense against public employees.
The junta amended the law last month to increase the penalty from two years and widen its jurisdiction, the lawyer told AP.
Thein Zaw, 32, is reportedly being held in Insein Prison in northern Yangon, where previous military regimes sent political prisoners.
AP said that the lawyer confirmed Thein Zaw could be held until March 12 without another hearing.
