The Insein Prison Court sentenced Hanthar Nyein, 41, to an additional five years on Dec. 26. This brings the journalist, editor and co-founder of Kamayut Media to a total prison sentence of seven years. Hanthar Nyein was convicted under Section 33 (A) of the country’s Electronics Transactions Law. Last March, Hanthar was sentenced to two years with hard labor for violating section 505(a) of the Penal Code. “Since we have already expected such a matter, we will face and overcome this together with my imprisoned brother and my family,” Hanthar Nyein’s brother told DVB. Hanthar Nyein was arrested in March 2021 along with fellow Kamayut Media co-founder Nathan Maung, who was released by the regime in June 2021. Maung was deported to the U.S. last year where he spoke out about the abuse and torture he and Hanthar faced after their arrest. Hanthar Nyein was nominated for the RSF Prize for Courage at the 30th annual Press Freedom Awards 2022.

U Kyaw Zeya was arrested in Gyobingauk town of Bago Region on Dec. 25, sources told DVB. The editor-in-chief of Kanbawza Tai News fled his hometown of Taunggyi, Shan State, where his news outlet is based, in March 2021. “Now he has been arrested at his parents house in Gyobingauk. Since then, we cannot reach him,” a source said. Since the 2021 military coup, ten media workers have been arrested in Shan State, including five from Kanbawza Tai News. They were convicted of violating Section 505 (a) and sentenced to three years in prison. All five were released in an amnesty. The arrest of U Kyaw Zeya comes as Reporters without Borders (RSF) ranked Burma 176 out of 180, at the bottom of its World Press Freedom Index 2022. It has become the world’s biggest jailer of journalists relative to its population size, states RSF.
