YANGON, Broadcasting News Corporation : A Japanese journalist detained in Myanmar has been charged with breaching immigration law and encouraging dissent against the military, the junta said Thursday.
Toru Kubota, who was held while covering a protest in Yangon last week “has been charged under section 505 (a) and under immigration law 13-1,” the junta said in a statement. The two charges carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison. News collected from ARAB NEWS.
