Myanmar Court Sentences Activists to 37 Years Over Election Protest In the aftermath of another brutal crackdown, the military backed government in Myanmar has shown its willingness to silence dissent through arbitrary measures.
The sentencing of nine activists to up to 37 years in prison for participating in a peaceful protest against the December elections is a stark reminder of the regime's determination to maintain power.
The charges levied against these individuals are absurd, with the electoral law and counterterrorism law used as pretexts to silence critics.
