BANGKOK: A court in junta-ruled Myanmar jailed a high-profile Christian pastor for six years today on charges of terrorism and illegal assembly, his lawyer said.
Hkalam Samson, the former head of the Kachin Baptist Convention, met then- US president Donald Trump at the White House in 2019 as part of a multinational delegation highlighting religious persecution. He was given three years on anti-terrorism charges for meeting a senior member of the National Unity Government – a self-declared parallel administration dominated by former lawmakers from Suu Kyi’s party.
