对于仰光高等法院今天维持对路透社记者Wa Lone和Kyaw Soe Oo的有罪原判，美国深为失望。自由、独立的媒体在任何民主社会都应得到保护。今天的裁决不仅令人对缅甸的表达自由产生疑问，还让人质疑缅甸致力于法治的决心。我们将继续在各个层面倡导公正释放这些勇敢的记者。

Press Releases: Appeal Hearing of Reuters Reporters Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo in Burma

Press Statement

The United States is deeply disappointed that the Yangon High Court upheld the convictions of Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo today. A free and independent press should be protected in any democracy. Today’s ruling casts doubt not only on freedom of expression in Burma, but also raises questions about Burma’s commitment to the rule of law. We will continue to advocate at all levels for the just release of these brave journalists.
