Myanmar reporters remain among ‘10 most urgent’ cases of press freedom violations. See the list: Follow their case:
Following their investigation into a security force massacre of Rohingya men and boys in western Rakhine State, the pair were convicted under the colonial-era Official Secrets Act and sentenced to seven years each in prison, even though a policeman testified that they had been entrapped. The Myanmar Supreme Court recently upheld their convictions. In December, Nicaraguan police raided TV station 100% Noticias and arrested station director Miguel Mora and news director Lucía Pineda.
Egyptian blogger Alaa Abdelfattah and photographer Mahmoud Abou Zeid were released this year after spending over five years behind bars. However, both have to report to a police station each evening, and it is up to the police whether they can leave. So far, both have spent every night of their “freedom” behind bars. Aasif Sultan, a reporter with Kashmir Narrator, was arrested on anti-state charges in August 2018.
