Higher appeal journalists Myanmar rejected

A court in Myanmar rejected the appeal that two journalists from Reuters news agency in Myanmar had lodged against their conviction.

In their investigation into crimes committed by the government army against members of Muslim minority Rohingya, they would have illegally obtained the documents. The journalists, both of them from Myanmar, met some police officers in the course of their investigations in December 2017. They pressed papers on that occasion. Immediately afterwards they were arrested. The pair is full of minded.
