Bangkok: An Indian television reporter has been deported from Burma
because she did not declare she was a journalist, Burmese military
intelligence said on Saturday.

Bhuneswari Sridharan was deported on Saturday after arriving earlier
that say on a Myanmar International Airlines flight from Bangkok, an
intelligence source said in a fax received here from Rangoon.

The TV India reporter had "falsely stated her occupation" when she had
applied for her visa, the fax said. Immigration officials found
documents "revealing her true intention" on her arrival at Rangoon
International Airport and she was refused entry, it said. (AFP)
