Burmese Military Arrests Three Journalists in Shan State
--------------------------------------------------------

In Burma, the military has arrested three journalists while they were
reporting in northern Shan State. Two reporters, Aye Nai and Pyae Phone
Naing, are with the Democratic Voice of Burma. The third journalist,
Lawi Weng, is with the outlet Irrawaddy. Amnesty International, which is
calling for the journalists to be freed, has accused the military of
carrying out a campaign of torture, forced disappearances and
extrajudicial killings in the region.
