Myanmar’s junta has been accused of conducting a campaign of terror against the media after three journalists died in August, making this year the deadliest for the industry since the 2021 coup with more than three months to go.
Htet Myat Thu, 28, and Win Htut Oo, 26, both freelance journalists, were shot dead during a raid on their home by the military junta on 21 August in the southern Mon state.
