The new Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, promised during today’s debate in the House of Commons said he would raise the case of the imprisoned Reuters journalists, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, when he visits Burma.
“The two journalists were doing what is in the very best traditions of all journalism: exposing evil and bad things that Governments do not want exposed. We are very concerned, and I want to visit Burma/Myanmar to talk about all these issues and will certainly raise the issue with the Burmese authorities”, the Foreign Secretary said.
