Deeply troubling to learn that #Burma’s courts upheld the convictions of 2 journalists today - failing a basic test in democracy. In the name of free & independent press, the gov’t of Burma should release these journalists immediately. The world is watching. #FreeWaLoneKyawSoeOo https://t.co/7SAEUfYtpo
