The Global New Light of Myanmar published two photographs of Turnell, a former adviser to overthrown civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi, receiving a dose of vaccine at the prison on Wednesday.
Turnell was not named in the newspaper but the pictures appeared alongside an article announcing that the vaccination program had begun at the infamous prison, as 610 of the 9000 inmates received shots on the first day.
