Sticking to actual issue, massacre of Rohingya Muslims, and murder of those who brought horrorific light, in what alternative universe do I live when Buddhist murder people...

Sickly...

Isn't this how JimAcosta is being treated by the Trump administration in America for daring to ask tough questions? They continue to try to intimidate him to report and ask what they want him to do instead of do his job. ananavarro

This just sucks

I am still surprised that Reuters journalists could be jailed for doing their jobs under the watch of Prime Minister Aung San Suu Kyi.

For investigating a crime they are trying to cover right,this Myanmar government didn't do well.

The United States of America is The GREATEST NATION the World has Ever Known.

Fruit of truthfulness.

Take a good note, fake news. This is how fake news and its reporters will end up where no manginas, white knights and cucks could interfere.

It is important to mind one's own business

😢😢😢

Imprisoned for investigating unspeakable crimes... What a world we live in

Myanmar court rejects appeal of jailed Reuters reportersYANGON, Myanmar (AP) — A court in Myanmar has rejected the appeal of two Reuters journalists convicted of violating the country's Official Secrets Act, and maintained the seven-year prison terms they were sentenced to last year. Judge Aung Naing said Friday that lawyers for Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo failed to submit enough evidence to prove their innocence. The men were convicted for having government documents in their possession. They were arrested on Dec. 12, 2017, in the country's main city, Yangon, immediately after having a meal to which police officers had invited them. They will live in pig trough PhilipMorris International,instead of creation an ethics commission to investigate of the facts of fraud PhilipMor. with give-and-take raw materials and environmental crimes inUkraine,conspired with Russian gangsters and demanded to close the public organization to prison house This is the kind of kangaroo court justice we can expect from a Nobel Peace prize recipient turned despot war criminal. I feel for these journalists.

Myanmar Court Rejects Appeal Of 2 Imprisoned Reuters JournalistsWa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo were reporting on a massacre of Rohingya men when they were arrested and later convicted of violating the country's Official Secrets Act. They were sentenced to seven years. Lock them up. Throw away the keys. Quick, somebody call jack to write some more tourism ads for Myanmar. Without freedom of the press 'democracy' is impossible. The current government is indicative of a military dictatorship in the guise of democracy. But each country is sovereign no matter how badly it conducts itself.
