Officials in Myanmar say they aim to prosecute a tourist couple who filmed themselves having sex against a Buddhist temple in the ancient city of Bagan and uploaded the video to the internet, 9News reported.

The country's archaeology department has reported the couple to the police under a law against insulting religion that carries a maximum two-year prison sentence.

Social media users responded with outrage and calls for the couple's arrest after the video surfaced on a porn platform last week.
