Suu Kyi defends jailing of Reuters journalists
Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi has defended the jailing of two Reuters journalists, despite international condemnation. Speaking at the World Economic forum she said the conviction of Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo had "nothing to do with freedom of expression at all". The two were sentenced for possession of police documents while investigating the killing of Rohingya Muslims.
Dan Damon has been speaking to Phil Robertson, the Deputy Director of Human Rights Watch Asia.
