Canadian deported over tattoo

(DPA) - A Canadian tourist had been deported from Myanmar because he had Buddha tattoos on his leg, local media reported on Monday.

The authorities deported the man to Thailand on Sunday, The Voice newspaper reported. “We told him that the tattoos may cause unnecessary trouble,” an official from the Immigration Department said. A photo posted on the Internet alerted Myanmar authorities to the tattoos. DPA
