Two Reuters journalists from Myanmar have been jailed for seven years for violating a state secrets act. Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo were investigating a massacre of Rohingya Muslims by Myanmar's army.

They maintain their innocence, claiming they were set up by police. 麻豆社 Minute looks at the case, which has been widely seen as a test of press freedom in Myanmar.
