A United Nations official has said the UN country team in Myanmar “remains very concerned over continued efforts to undermine the freedom of expression and the freedom of the press through systematic imposition of restrictive policies and practices since the military took over” on February 1.
Stéphane Dujarric, the spokesperson for the UN secretary-general, urged the junta to release all people detained arbitrarily, including journalists, adding that “freedom of expression is the cornerstone of any democracy and must be protected.”
