Aung San Suu Kyi on press freedom in Burma

Myat Thu Tun is the fifth Myanmar journalist to be killed by the junta since the coup d'état in February 2021.  His body was recently found buried, riddled with bullets and marked by signs of torture.

Trois ans après son putsch, la junte birmane intensifie sa répression impitoyable contre les journalistes. L’armée a tué sommairement quatre journalistes, et plus de 150 professionnels de l’information ont été enfermés.

RSF calls for the release of Myanmar former journalist and documentary filmmaker Shin Daewe, who was recently sentenced to life in prison, the harshest term given to a journalist in since the military junta regained by force its power almost three years.
