Myanmar, which had no journalists in jail as of December 1, 2020, saw the military’s post-coup repression leave 26 journalists in custody 12 months later. The situation, however, is even more dire than this total suggests.

[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

New report published today: Number of journalists behind bars reaches global high; CPJ found a record 293 journalists jailed for their work around the world on December 1, 2021.

#Myanmar's ruling party led by #AungSanSuuKyi has captured much more seats than it needs in the parliament to retain power, according to official results of Sunday's general election. The party so far Friday pm secured 396 seats while it needed at least 322 to retain majority.
