Myanmar journalists wearing T-shirts that say “Stop Killing Press” stage a silent protest for five journalists who were jailed for 10 years on July 10, near the Myanmar Peace Center where Myanmar President Thein Sein was scheduled to meet with local artists in Yangon on July 12, 2014. Myanmar jailed five journalists to 10 years in prison with hard labour on July 10 over a report accusing the military of producing chemical weapons, a sentence denounced by campaigners as “outrageously harsh”. Reporters Without Borders described the verdict as “very worrying for press freedom” in Myanmar. AFP PHOTO / SOE THAN WIN (Photo credit should read Soe Than WIN/AFP/Getty Images)
