UN decries 'political campaign' against journalism in Myanmar
Myanmar, which has faced international outrage over the jailing of two Reuters journalists for their reporting on a massacre of Rohingya Muslims, is conducting a “political campaign” against independent journalism, the UN said Tuesday.
A fresh report from the UN rights office decried “the instrumentalisation of the law and of the courts by the government and military in what constitutes a political campaign against independent journalism,” and slammed the “failure of the judiciary to uphold the fair trial rights of those targeted. “
