A Myanmar judge on Monday found two Reuters journalists guilty of breaching a law on state secrets and jailed them for seven years, in a landmark case seen as a test of progress toward democracy in the Southeast Asian country, Reuters reports. The jailing of these two journalists shreds what remains of Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi’s reputation as a rights champion, critics say, after she failed to come to their defense or speak up for the persecuted Rohingya minority, according to Agence-France Presse. The journalists were detained on 12 December 2017 after meeting police officers offering them information. They are charged with illegally obtaining information, but Reuters has called for their release and says they were simply doing their jobs, writes the BBC.
