Reuters on Monday hit out at the jailing of two of their reporters for seven years for an alleged breach of Myanmar’s Official Secrets Act during an investigation into a massacre of Rohingya men.
“Today is a sad day for Myanmar… and the press everywhere,” Stephen J. Adler, Reuters Editor-in-Chief, said in a statement, denouncing the charges as “false” and “designed to silence their reporting and intimidate the press”.
