Myanmar’s military regime handed down prison sentences against a headmistress, a reporter, a student leader and a National League for Democracy (NLD) township member on incitement charges Wednesday.
Headmistress of Hpa-an Government’s Technical High School in Karen State Dr. Cho Yu Mon was sentenced to two years imprisonment on a charge of violating Article 505 (b) of the Penal Code, which criminalizes inducing someone to commit an offense against the state or against “the public tranquility.” Her sentence was handed down by a court in Hpa-an Prison.
