“We issued another remand this morning for them,” Min Thant, an information officer at the Western District Court in the commercial capital of Yangon, told Reuters by telephone, without giving further details.
The five men and one woman were arrested in Singapore in early July and later deported to Myanmar, where they were arrested shortly after arriving.
