On March 26, Myanmar's Supreme Court in Naypyidaw will hear an appeal from lawyers for imprisoned Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo. Reuters Editor-in-Chief Stephen J. Adler issued the following statement ahead of the hearing: "Myanmar's Supreme Court has the opportunity to correct the serious miscarriage of justice inflicted on Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo for the last 15 months.
