Lawyers for two Reuters reporters jailed for seven years in Myanmar lodged an appeal on Monday against their conviction on charges of breaking the country’s Official Secrets Act, Al-Jazeera reports. Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo were convicted in September of possessing state secrets in a trial that has drawn condemnation from foreign governments and press freedom advocates, who accuse Myanmar of using its criminal justice system to restrict independent media. Their report detailed the murder of 10 Rohingya men and boys at the hands of Myanmar troops, police officers and Rakhine Buddhist villagers on September 2, 2017. The Myanmar government corroborated this report when it sentenced seven soldiers involved to 10 years imprisonment.
