On April 6, 2021, comedian Zarganar was arrested by the military junta in a broader campaign against cultural figures following the February 2021 military coup. He was released conditionally on October 18, 2021 after over six months in arbitrary detention. A decade earlier, in 2011, Zarganar was released under a general amnesty from a 35-year sentence related to his satirical expression and disaster relief efforts in regions hit hardest by a 2008 cyclone.
