Myanmar: Regional union body stands with Myanmar journalists

On the second anniversary of the military coup in Myanmar, the South East Asia Journalists Unions (SEAJU) strongly condemned the military junta’s continued gross violations of human rights, persecution of journalists and attacks on independent media. The region’s media unions called on the international community to increase pressure on Myanmar’s military to guarantee the safety of all Burmese citizens and cease the state-sanctioned violence, arbitrary arrests and draconian laws that have suppressed activists and stifled freedom of expression.

Myanmar sentences 8 journalists to years in prison, releases 6 others

The Committee to Protect Journalists described the jailing, sentencing, and granting early release to journalists in Myanmar as a "cruel carousel" and a "form of psychological warfare aimed at breaking the will of independent media outlets."
