Yangon, Apr 24 (UNI) Myanmar's top court has rejected the appeal of two Reuters reporters, who are serving a sentence of seven years for breaking the Official Secrets Act. The two were arrested in December 2017 while working on an investigative story into the killing of 10 Rohingya Muslim men, including two boys by the locals with the help of country's security personnel.
The journalists’ lawyer, Than Zaw Aung, said the court gave no reason for rejecting the appeal, The Myanmar Times reported on Wednesday.
“We tried our best through the legal process, but we can’t do any more as this is the highest court of Myanmar,” Than Zaw Aung said.
