The Dhaka Times Desk The country's court will announce the verdict on September 3 against the two journalists of the British news agency Reuters who were detained in Myanmar while collecting information about the genocide of the Rohingya minority.
Yesterday (Monday) the day of the announcement of the verdict was fixed, but it was postponed and this new date was fixed, according to a news of Reuters. The judge of the case was ill and the announcement of the verdict was postponed, the court said.
It is known that the 2 journalists of Reuters have been accused of violating the state privacy law. If the charges are proved, these 2 journalists are expected to be jailed for 14 years.
It should be noted that 32-year-old journalist Wa Lone and 28-year-old Kyao Soe O were arrested while meeting with two policemen on December 12. Since then they have been imprisoned in the country. The trial of the case against the 2 journalists has been going on in the court of Yangon since January this year.
Earlier, Bangladesh, United Nations, European Union, United States, Canada, United Kingdom and other countries and human rights organizations of the world condemned the detention of the 2 journalists and called for their release, but the Myanmar government did not respond in any way.
They admitted the killing of 10 Rohingyas in Myanmar's In Din village. Myanmar has announced the punishment of several people, admitting that the army members and local Buddhists killed them. The 2 reporters of Reuters were collecting information about the murder incident in In Din village before being detained. The Myanmar court will announce the verdict of the 2 journalists after one year of the black chapter that descended on the Rohingya.
It should be noted that in August last year, about 7 lakh Rohingyas crossed the border and sought refuge in Bangladesh due to the torture of the army in Myanmar's Rakhine. The most heinous allegations of genocide, rape and arson have been made against the members of the Myanmar army. The United Nations Human Rights Organization has also called Myanmar's behavior a textbook example of ethnic cleansing.
