Kyaw Thu and wife reach Thai refugee camp

A leading Burmese film actor, Kyaw Thu, and his wife have succeeded in evading arrest and have escaped to Thailand, where they registered today at the Mae La refugee camp close to the Burmese border.

Kyaw Thu had been running from authorities after a public show of support for the protesting monks. Along with the Burmese comedian Zarganar, he had gathered together celebrities to supply the monks at the Shwedagon pagoda with food and water. "We are Buddhist. All Buddhists have to support this movement," the movie heart-throb said.

Zarganar has been arrested, but Kyaw Thu (above, far left with Zarganbar next to him) got away before security forces raided his and his parents' homes. The actor, star of the 2005 film True Love, is renowned for his social work. He helps run the Free Funeral Services Society, which allows the poor to arrange a decent burial for their loved ones. He has donated large sums to the charity and even volunteered as a hearse driver and gravedigger.
