YANGON (Reuters) - Hardline Buddhist nationalist monk Ashin Wirathu handed himself over to police in Myanmar’s commercial capital of Yangon on Monday after more than a year on the run from charges of sedition.Wearing a face mask and shield, he spoke to supporters at a monks’ association in the city before driving to a police station in Dagon township, according to Reuters witnesses. Officials there did not immediately comment. “I will pay homage to senior monks, and then I will go with police, I will go wherever they send,” he said, accusing the government and ruling party of bullying him, according to a video broadcast of the speech. Wirathu is known for his rhetoric against minority Muslims, particularly the Rohingya community, but he has also been critical of the civilian government of Aung San Suu Kyi and supportive of Myanmar’s powerful military. The western district court in Yangon issued a warrant for his arrest in May last year.
