Myanmar: Five journalists freed as human rights abuses escalate
Myanmar’s military junta has released five journalists jailed under arbitrary incitement and dissent charges in an amnesty on so-called ‘humanitarian grounds’ of 2,153 prisoners on May 3. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) joins its affiliate, the Myanmar Journalists Network (MJN), in urging the junta to immediately release all journalists still in detention, and calling on the international community to do all it can to resolve the crisis in Myanmar and hold perpetrators of gross violations of international human rights law to account.
