Nay Phone Latt – Burmese Blogger sentenced to 20 years

I am happy that social media picked up on Nay Phone Latt’s case too! He was arrested in January for his blogging activities and recently sentenced to 20 years of prison.

The more I translate for Global Voices the more I realise the reality of freedom of speech in global socail media – and the tranquility of my own access to the web. I disagree with any unfair treatmet of bloggers and I hope Nay will be on Amnesty International’s agenda soon as well. In the meantime, keep posting, as Global Voices and Commettee To Protect Bloggers did so already!
