TWO Reuters journalists who exposed the state killings of Rohingya Muslims were jailed for seven years in Myanmar today amid warnings the pair were framed by the police.

Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo remained defiant after a judge sentenced them for breaching the country’s Official Secrets Act when they were arrested last December carrying documents given to them by police officers.

Wa Lone said after the verdict: "I have no fear. I have not done anything wrong. I believe in justice, democracy and freedom."
