U.S. Senators Fight For Reuters Journalists Jailed In Myanmar

Description

Eleven Republican and Democratic U.S. senators have urged the Trump administration to “use all tools at your disposal,” including imposing more economic sanctions, to ensure “the immediate, unconditional” release of two Reuters journalists imprisoned in Myanmar. Reuters reports that the senators, led by Republican Marco Rubio and Democrat Jeff Merkley wrote in a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urging him. The journalists were found guilty on official secrets charges and sentenced earlier this month in a landmark case seen as a test of progress toward democracy in Myanmar.
