Family of Myanmar policeman who described sting on Reuters reporters evicted: family

By Shoon Naing and Thu Thu Aung YANGON (Reuters) - The family of a Myanmar policeman who told a court how police planted secret documents on Reuters reporters to "entrap" them was evicted from police housing in the capital Naypyitaw on Saturday, less than 24 hours after his testimony, family members said. The family has temporarily taken shelter in an apartment belonging to the policeman's brother, the brother said. In widely-covered testimony on Friday, Police Captain Moe Yan Naing gave the details of the hours leading up to the Dec. 12 arrest of Reuters reporters Wa Lone, 32, and Kyaw Soe Oo, 28, and said the police had arranged a "set up".
