UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday said he hoped that Myanmars government will pardon two Reuters journalists who were sentenced to seven years in jail after they reported on massacres in Rakhine state.
Guterres said it was "not acceptable" for Wa Lone, 32, and Kyaw Soe Oo, 28, to be jailed "for what they were doing" as journalists in Myanmar.
