Myanmar charges Reuters reporters under Official Secrets Act
  • 6 years ago
Two Reuters journalists are formally charged by police in a Myanmar court for breaching a colonial-era secrecy law that carries a sentence of up to 14 years in jail, despite calls for their immediate release. Myanmar nationals Wa Lone, 31, and Kyaw Soe Oo, 27, were arrested a month ago under the Official Secrets Act after they allegedly were given classified documents by two policemen over dinner.
