This news from Thailand: Burma’s military government has sentenced a leading figure in the country’s democracy movement to 25 years in prison after she gave an interview to a foreign radio station. Authorities confirmed the sentence given San San, a member of the National League for Democracy, but said it’s because she had broken terms of an amnesty from a previous conviction. San San is 58 years old. She’s been sentenced in December to six years in prison for violating a 1950 law that allows the jailing of persons likely to “inspire security problems or incite unrest among the people.”
