An appeal hearing for two Reuters journalists sentenced to seven years imprisonment was held at the Yangon Region High Court. Lawyers acting on behalf of the journalists have laid out their reasons for why the pair should be acquitted. According to an article in Frontier, one of the lawyers for the pair, U L Khun Ring Pan, said that the district court was wrong to convict the pair. Whether the accusations against them amounted to a breach of the Official Secrets Act or not was not considered. The testimony of a prosecution witness who said the pair was deliberately entrapped was not considered. U Than Zaw Aung, another lawyer representing the pair, said he expected to have to wait two weeks for the court to reach a verdict.
