Statement from Stephen J. Adler, Editor-in-Chief, Reuters: "Today's ruling is yet another injustice among many inflicted upon Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo.  They remain behind bars for one reason:  those in power sought to silence the truth.  Reporting is not a crime, and until Myanmar rights this terrible wrong, the press in Myanmar is not free, and Myanmar's commitment to rule of law and democracy remains in doubt."
