In fact they tell his jokes to their friends after work," said his friend Htein Lin, quoted on the Free Zarganar campaign website.Bald and energetic, with a wry comic style that used word play to skirt the country's strict censorship laws, Zarganar built his career satirising the military leaders of the country also known as Burma.
