The defense Attorney handling the case of two Reuter’s reporters who were detained last December for allegedly possessing top secret government documents, has asked the Myanmar court to drop the case due to insufficient evidence.
The Attorney stated in the court hearing that
witnesses have “testified and been cross examined” and there is still no proof.
The court responded in allowing the arguments for the motion of dismissal in
the next hearing on April the 4th.
Diplomats from Australia and the EU also attended
the hearing. The reporters have been charged for breaching the “Officials
Secrets Act”.
