Jailed for Praying in Burma (Myanmar)

Two Burmese supporters of imprisoned opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi were sentenced to 18 months in prison after leading prayers for her release in April.

The military regime in Burma charged Chit Pe and Aung Saw Wei of "insulting religion," under a law that was used against demonstrating Buddhist monks in 2007.

Three more activists were arrested two weeks ago for distributing photos of Aung San Suu Kyi in the former capital, Yangon.
