Justice for Ye Tike

Ye Tike , age 30, is a famous Myanmar-Muslim actor until 2012. His religion became an issue since he is a well known actor. The following link is interview with Ye Tike concerning his religion. http://kyawkyawoo.wordpress.com/2012/07/16/ye-tike-has-left-islam-but-his-faith-important-for-myanmar-muslims/
After that, he changed his religion to Buddhism , then he knelt down at a church while he was seeking the peace after living as a religion-less person for a couple of years in Yangon.

On 4th July, 2013, he was searched by polices and seized at Kyaukdaga Township of Bago region. The news announced that Marijuana was found with him and sentenced 6 years of imprisonment with hard labor. Many people were criticizing on his imprisonment which was sentenced on 6th April 2014. I am also doubt in this case and finding out the justice for him. Everyone has to obey and respect the law. But, justice is my dream.
