BANGKOK (AP) — A website covering news about Myanmar was defaced by hackers on Thursday, a few days after its director won a prestigious press freedom award.

Aung Zaw said the attack on The Irrawaddy website was one of many it has faced. The attackers replaced the site’s home page with a statement accusing it of supporting “Jihad & Radical Muslims.” Aung Zaw linked the attack to a recent commentary he wrote about Buddhist extremists apparently backed by undemocratic members of the military.
