"It is clear the act of the bar offended the majority religion in the country," said the judge, handing down a 2-year sentence.

The judge, U Ye Lwin, said that the 3 men had "denigrated Buddhism " in "violation of Myanmar�s religion act, which prohibits insulting, damaging or destroying religion."

The 3 men � a New Zealander and 2 Burmese � promoting some event at a bar, had put up a Facebook post with an image of Buddha wearing headphones. They'd quickly removed that image and even apologized:

"Our ignorance is embarrassing for us, and we will attempt to correct it by learning more about Myanmar�s religions, culture and history, characteristics that make this such a rich and unique society," the apology said.
