Myanmar: Junta bans The Irrawaddy
On October 29, the ruling Myanmar junta banned independent online news outlet The Irrawaddy and accused the publisher of violating national security laws. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) condemns the actions of the junta, and urges the authorities to reinstate The Irrawaddy’s publication license and end the forced closure of the outlet.
