In Burma, the military has arrested three journalists while they were reporting in northern Shan State. Two reporters, Aye Nai and Pyae Phone Naing, are with the Democratic Voice of Burma. The third journalist, Lawi Weng, is with the outlet Irrawaddy. Amnesty International, which is calling for the journalists to be freed, has accused the military of carrying out a campaign of torture, forced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in the region.
