The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and its affiliate, the Myanmar Journalist Network (MJN), on Wednesday condemned Burmese journalist Moh Moh Tun’s “illegal sentencing” and urged the Myanmar junta to immediately and unconditionally release her and other journalists in detention.

Hmu Yadanar Khet Moh Moh Tun, who has been jailed since 2021, was sentenced to an additional ten years’ imprisonment with hard labour by the military controlled Thingangyun District Court on May 26.
