EU Demands Release Of Two Reuters Journalists Jailed In Myanmar
  • 6 years ago

The European Union has called for the immediate and unconditional release of two Reuters journalists jailed in Myanmar. The journalists were imprisoned for their reporting of the Rohingya crisis. On Monday a Myanmar judge found Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo guilty of breaching a law on state secrets. They were sentenced to seven years in jail, says Reuters. The EU’s foreign policy service said the sentence “undermines the freedom of the media."
