After Reuters arrests, Myanmar reporters fear meeting same fate

Some human rights advocates say press freedom is under attack in Myanmar, even though decades of rule by a junta that tightly controlled the media has given way to a government led by Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, reports Reuters.

Myanmar has detained at least 29 journalists in the 20 months since Suu Kyi came to power.

While most have since been released on bail, the frequency of arrests - along with the detention last week of two Reuters reporters - has rekindled worries among some journalists trying to cover violence in Rakhine State.
