Myanmar jails photojournalist for 20 years on first day of closed trial
A court in military-ruled Myanmar has jailed a photojournalist for 20 years, the longest-known prison term for a media professional since the 2021 coup.
The Myanmar Now news outlet said the verdict and sentence were handed down on Wednesday – the first day of Sai Zaw Thaike’s trial inside Yangon’s Insein prison.
